The system manufacturer's name only makes sense on bought all-in-one PCs, Macs or Laptops. If you build your own Pc out of custom components, this seems to be not a very good solution.
Why not use the hostname? The hostname could be preset from network (DHCP/DNS) if present, and if not, it is "ubuntu"/"kubuntu" anyway - which is WAY more awesome than "System Producet Manufacturer" or even "RF511" or "U80-U100". Anyone will change this. Or - use "ubuntu-desktop" / "ubuntu-laptop" depending on the detected form factor. Everything is better than the current solution. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/743070 Title: ubiquity sets wrong computer's name To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/743070/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
