Device name is showing hostnamectl transient name, not static name. I just tried this in F19 and it shows the static name. So this seems backwards now with Gnome 3.9. By my understanding, if there's a 'transient' hostname then it is likely to be the currently "active" hostname, not the 'static' one. The 'static' one is kind of a permanent fallback value which can possibly get overwritten by a 'transient' one on network init, but the 'static' one is tracked because that's what the hostname will fall back to if the 'transient' one goes away for some reason. (At least, that's my best understanding ATM. I've been poking this stuff lately in the context of getting IPA set up, and I suspect hostname is a bit like xkb - seems simple on the surface, turns out to be pyschopathically complicated when you get into the details. There seem to be three different kernel syscalls for 'querying the hostname', which can all return different results in different circumstances. Try 'hostname' and 'hostname -f'...) -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
