(In addition to the one mentioned by WirelessMoves, I found several other Ubuntu Forum threads as well as blog posts, etc. which recommend working around this problem by editing the /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg file to set the "preserve_hostname:" line's value to "true". However, that approach means there would be a conffile conflict whenever the cloud- init package is upgraded, so a better solution in the long run is probably to create a new file in /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg.d/ with that setting instead.)

The name in the file can be changed but it always reverts to the hostname configured during installation. In the following thread on the topic it is suggested to remove a number of cloud packages. When doing this in a VM install I could change the hostname again via /etc/hostname. https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2389098&page=2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-release-notes/+bug/1764172/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
