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.
