Public bug reported: I upgraded to the karma alpha today using 'dist-upgrade -d'.
After rebooting, my /etc/hostname file was rewritten to "njs-laptop" ("njs" is my login). This computer already has a name, and that's not it! During the reboot it gave me the standard first time install questions -- language, keyboard, timezone, initial user creation. I was a little puzzled (perhaps the bug is that it did that?), but went along with it, and typed in "njs" as my initial user. I didn't see anything about host names there, but I guess that must be where the "njs-laptop" string came from? ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- upgrade to karmic trashed /etc/hostname https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/432888 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
