Public bug reported: I recall that going to System-> Administration -> Network and then selecting the "General" tab was the way to go to change my laptop's hostname. But for some strange reason, now that I upgraded to Jaunty, the "general" tab appears no more.
Has this option just "vanished" on Karmic? I know that you can edit /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts and then you are all set. But this is a no-go for non-tech/ubuntu/linux-savvy users: for example my boss or my syster, my mother and so on.. I don't know if this is a bug or a feature. I am also doubtful if this is specific to Ubuntu or to gnome. Kind regards. Noe. Information: Ubuntu Karmic last updated on October 23.
