Bug Description
In Bionic Beta 2 I am not able on a host or in a guest VM to change the hostname of a Bionic Beta 2 installation by changing /etc/hostname. The name in the file can be changed but it always reverts to the hostname configured during installation.
In the following thread on the topic it is suggested to remove a number of cloud packages. When doing this in a VM install I could change the hostname again via /etc/hostname.
