Thanks for that PrivateNetwork=no hint - works like a charm! For those that need this, follow the steps below:
1. systemctl edit systemd-hostnamed Add the 2 lines below then exit the editor (don't forget to save when prompted): [Service] PrivateNetwork=no 2. This will create an override.conf file with the above 2 lines in the directory: /etc/systemd/system/systemd-hostnamed.service.d/ 3. The update systemd: systemctl daemon-reload 4. Then restart the service: systemctl restart systemd-hostnamed You should now be able to run hostnamectl without it hanging. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1575779 Title: hostnamectl fails under lxd unpriv container To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apparmor/+bug/1575779/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
