Hello there! I hear this is a common problem and I hear that you think it's been fixed. However, it most certainly has not.
My computer is a Dell Vostro 1500 running Ubuntu Intrepid with the latest updates as of today (11/20). My networkmanager package version is "0.7~~svn20081018t105859-0ubuntu1", as reported by aptitude. So I start my computer up normally. The /etc/init.d/hostname script runs and sets my hostname to northbound, like it should be. Then, NetworkManager runs and changes it to localhost.localdomain. Boo. Here's an example session that I set up to show you just what I mean: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ hostname northbound [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart * Stopping NetworkManager... [ OK ] * Starting NetworkManager... [ OK ] [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ hostname northbound # About 5-10 seconds later: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ hostname localhost.localdomain # About 15 minutes later in a separate shell when NM's connected to my network: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ hostname northbound.uccs.edu [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ aptitude show network-manager | grep -i version Version: 0.7~~svn20081018t105859-0ubuntu1 Does anyone know how to help? I'd be happy to provide more details if you'd like. Thank you for your time.
