While I agree with your statement I disagree with your logic. I'm not an OEM... I'm an administrator trying to integrate Ubuntu and the lack of of the mentioned feature in oem-config DOES act as an impediment to introduction. Contrary to your statement changing the hostname IS a simple matter.... but not easy to do with machine imaging. If the OEM is incompetent enough to set the host name on a web server and then run oem-config then let that OEM deal with the consequences. On the other hand, imaging like hardware is so insanely common that it makes sense to offer the capability.
It is possible to make a checkbox that offers the option of setting the hostname during the first run after oem-config. -- oem-config should also set the host name https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/303545 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
