This is the same issue reported in https:/
However that is marked as 'Fix Released' and the issue is still occurring so it seems best to just open a new bug according to Eric's comment.
The present hostname preseed regex looks like:
if ! echo "$RET" | grep -q 'ubuntu'; then
...
/bin/sed -i "s/$CURRENT_
...
fi
There are still multiple problems with them according to Peter's comment (https:/
- The default hostname is 'ubuntu', and is the value you will get if nothing is preseeded -- we *do* need to skip it in this case, although the grep may need to be more precise. A name like 'ubuntuxenial' should match this grep.
- The sed needs to be fixed to more appropriately catch for the exact string, rather than any substring -- ie. it should not match 'ipv6-allnodes' if the name received from DHCP was 'node'. It should only match and replace for 'node'.
So the fix will try to:
1) Keep the if statement and add the -w option to grep to be more robust
2) Modify the sed cmd with word boundaries (\b) to be more robust as well.
