Mathieu, In this case yes, installation was done on the same network so the same DHCP server and lease info was used/received. Doing a standard install from a live disk Ubuntu doesn't seem to use the DHCP supplied hostname: the live disk hostname is ubuntu, and the gui installer auto-generates a hostname from the user information + hardware info (like model string from BIOS). The installer won't let you have a blank hostname. At no point during installation do I see or get the option to use the DHCP supplied hostname.
As an update re: virtual machines I can't replicate this at all on a VBox VM, but have no trouble reproducing it on bare metal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1007221 Title: Removing /etc/hostname results in failed first login attempt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1007221/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
