Also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1893223, filed last October. And see: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/message/SV26LZTNV42GXBMZVYAFRMBBGKYUI7VN/ For me, running "hostnamectl" showed that the static hostname was "localhost" and the transient hostname was "fedora", apparently because somebody thought the latter was a good idea. The nonmatching hostnames triggered NetworkManager to spam the logs, which is the second bug. Both should be fixed, but the fact that nobody is paying attention to bugs filed last fall is not encouraging. The workaround I resorted to was to use hostnamectl to make the static and transient hostnames match. -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/ _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
