I'd never really thought about your first point Mark, but I agree, it would be nice to have an applet to shield users from the command line for something as simple as a hostname change.
As for the second, I think it's important that it be exposed in the installer, even if it gets hidden behind an Advanced tab. It could be an auto-populated field in the current form (eg user-desktop) with a label that informs users that most people do not need to change this, but may need to if they have multiple machines on their network. I hope this can be changed in time for the 10.10 release - happy to help wherever needed! -- Maverick ubiquity lacks option to change computer name https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/628087 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
