Public bug reported: Binary package hint: avahi-daemon
Description: Ubuntu 8.10 Release: 8.10 Package: avahi-daemon-0.6.23-2ubuntu2.1 When putting spaces or escape codes into the hostname= setting in avahi- daemon.conf, the codes get double-escaped. Examples: hostname=Living Room HTPC results in a host name coded like this broadcast to the network: Living\\032Room\\032HTPC which is displayed in the network browser as "Living\032Room\032HTPC" instead of "Living Room HTPC" because it got double-escaped. There should only be one \ in front of the 032. For example, my MacBook Pro is listed as "David Miller's MacBook Pro" in the network browser, but is broadcast like this to the network: David\032Miller\039s\032MacBook\032Pro ** Affects: avahi (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- hostnames from avahi-daemon.conf get double-escaped https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/331725 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
