Public bug reported:
Ubuntu version: 8.04
Using the Network Settings tool, if the user changes the domain name and
reboots the OS, the domain name is blank.
Steps to reproduce:
- Navigate to: System -> Administration -> Network
- Click on the Unlock button and enter your user's password when prompted
- Navigate to the General tab and enter a domain name under: Host Settings ->
Domain name
- Using the tool, save to a Location and click on the "tick" button to make it
currently usable
- Reboot the OS and navigate to the Network Settings tool again
After the previous steps, you will notice that the previously set domain
name has disappeared. This appears to be because even though the user
has set a Location, there is no way of setting a default Location in the
tool.
This bug should be addressed as the only workaround seems to be selecting a
Location every time the user reboots the OS. Considering that this is present
in the current LTS release 8.04, where the OS is marketed as an
enterprise/corporate OS, this should not be deemed as an acceptable action that
every user must perform every time they log on.
If this is an upstream bug, please indicate this and what steps must happen for
this issue to be addressed.
