Greetings; I just updated a pi3 to buster, presumeably rc2.
But I used RealtimePi to install a 4.19.50-rt-v7 kernel into the image. That conversion insists the hostname is realtimepi. In stretch I could fix it to the name I'm used to by setting hostname, then sudo chattr +i hostname, and it would stick over a reboot, but not in buster, despite the immutable bit being set, its been reset to realtimepi after a reboot, this despite an lsattr still showing the i bit is still set! So that I need help with, and since my network is static, avahi is screwing with my routes, and that disables my dns lookups outside of my local network because it issues a ping to an outside address from the .local address in the 169/24 block. So I've got to nuke whatever is sourceing the 169 junk to the ifup command. Help please & many thanks.
