Bug Description
Our devices are currently named by the model number, with no way to change that name. It shows up over:
- MTP, where the name is "Aquaris E4.5"
- Bluetooth, where the name is "MX4 Ubuntu Edition"
- DHCP, where the device name is "ubuntu-phablet"
- for example "ssh ubuntu-phablet.znh"
etc.
Having two devices of the same model means I can't then easily identify which one I want to interact with.
It should be possible to set a custom device name that will then be used in all those cases.
UX Resolution:
Please see attached image device-name for the solution.
