Hostname left to "ubuntu-0" in Bluetooth settings after install from live cd

[Carroarmato0]

After installing from a live-cd session when given a hostname to the machine, the hostname is applied, but for some reason the live cd hostname "ubuntu-0" is being shown in the bluetooth settings instead of the user's chosen hostname.

Also: the name gets reset to "ubuntu-0" after reboots when you change it manually with "hciconfig"

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

As a work around, I have done the following.

I added the following into rc.local
<code>
hciconfig hci0 name $HOSTNAME
</code>

[Chadarius (csutton-chadarius)]

OK well that worked on the command line but not in the rc.local :(

[Carroarmato0 (carroarmato0)]

Maybe the $HOSTNAME variable isn't present when rc.local gets executed, or maybe the command gets executed, but when the Bluetooth managers starts it changes that again to the wrong hostname?

[Chadarius (csutton-chadarius)]

Restarting bluetooth does set it back to ubuntu-0 again. So it seems a fix would be to put that into the bluetooth startup process perhaps.

Thank you for your bug report

Mathieu, could you have a look to that?
