[Kernel-packages] [Bug 837196] Re: Cannot change bluetooth name
This is technically no gnome-bluetooth bug, but a bug in the gnome-system-settings. But this info here is gone if not linked to the new bug. So if you don't mind I'll mark this here as duplicate of the new one? Technically it would be better to assign it to the new package, but the new bug 1308922 has already a very clean description, so IMHO it is better to do it that way. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/837196 Title: Cannot change bluetooth name Status in GNOME Bluetooth: Invalid Status in “bluez” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “gnome-bluetooth” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: There is no option to change friendly name in the bluetooth settings.

Of course it should be possible to change. IF a default should be chosen, it should be $HOSTNAME. The bug still lives in 14.04. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/837196 Title: Cannot change bluetooth name Status in GNOME Bluetooth: Invalid Status in “bluez” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “gnome-bluetooth” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: There is no option to change friendly name in the bluetooth settings.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 837196] Re: Cannot change bluetooth name
Hi Mathieu, With regards to changing the hostname in System Information (or through Details in Unity Control Center) - at least on my laptop that is not possible - the field is greyed-out and my hostname is the correct one. Thanks to TJ's comment https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/989817/comments/12, the source of the ubuntu-0 name is clear - it is put there by ubiquity during installation (when the system still has the default hostname - ubuntu). The problem is that, once recorded there (and copied from Live install to /target) it is impossible to override it without editing the corresponding files. At least this is a bug with Ubiquity, but I think that it should be possible to change the device name without editing the config files by hand, so I have opened #1308922 against unity-control-center. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/837196 Title: Cannot change bluetooth name Status in GNOME Bluetooth: Invalid Status in “bluez” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “gnome-bluetooth” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: There is no option to change friendly name in the bluetooth settings.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 837196] Re: Cannot change bluetooth name
Hi Mathieu, In my latest distro, Ubuntu 13.10, there is a field for setting the Bluetooth Friendly Name in the blueman-adapters panel. I think it works, at least on the system I'm using now. (However, this isn't a fresh installation, and I may have performed some work-around last year.) But this was very problematic even last year. Something like: you could set the friendly name in one place, but somehow it didn't *take*, so that other devices would still see it as ubuntu0. As always, it's immaterial to the user whose fault it is--and enough glitches like this drive users to the competition.

No, it actually means there is nothing to fix I just have missed the updates to the bug. It's invalid according to GNOME because there is a way to change the system hostname via System Information in the control panel: http://www.hadess.net/2011/06/pretty-oh-so-pretty.html As expressed above, there is also a way to change this in bluez itself, so there is effectively no bug in BlueZ -- as such I'll mark the Bluez task as Invalid (there is no bug there), and the gnome-bluetooth task as Won't Fix (we won't change how it is, and there is an alternative method recommended by GNOME already) ** Changed in: gnome-bluetooth (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Won't Fix ** Changed in: bluez (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/837196 Title: Cannot change bluetooth name Status in GNOME Bluetooth: Invalid Status in “bluez” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “gnome-bluetooth” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: There is no option to change friendly name in the bluetooth settings.
