Appending the content of Bug #1190048 here, ignore me if its not useful
1. I expected there's a pre-installed GUI utility in Ubuntu to change hostname.
2. I expected it appears in GNOME Control Center(a.k.a. System Settings) -> Details -> "Device name" textbox
    * In fact there's really a "textbox" at the location but is not editable and there's no "Unlock" button at that view.
3. I expected if I run GNOME Control Center as root (gksudo gnome-control-center) I can change my hostname
    * In fact when GNOME Control Center run as root, the "textbox" really turn's into editable, but edit the content still won't apply to the system temporarily nor permanently.
4. I supposed there's many user having the same conclusion like me, so please help ;)
