Well, on 15.04 (nano-2.2.6), nano didn't have any file locking.

Good.

It should, because it ignores the 'set locking' that uou have in your
.nanorc. As a temporary measure you can comment out that setting.

Well, when it's a virtual machine, then it's not really a computer.  :)
And yes, then it's likely that it gets its hostname over the network.
But it doesn't matter.  If you can compile from source, please try the
attached patch.
