How I did in 14.04: Stopped Bluetooth with the top right applet sudo service bluetooth stop removed PRETTY_HOSTNAME from within /etc/machine-info set the NaMe-I-wAnT both in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf (replaced %h-%d with NaMe-I-wAnT) and in /var/lib/bluetooth/[MAC-ADDR]/config (name NaMe-I-wAnT) sudo service bluetooth start
Yeay reboot to check persistence Yeeeaaayyy (PS : btw I also have rfkill block bluetooth just before the ending exit 0 line in /etc/rc.local to prevent BT coming UP on boot) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1308922 Title: There is no way to change the bluetooth system name from the standard GUI To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-control-center/+bug/1308922/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
