Changing the hostname on Ubuntu is straightforward. You can do it through the GUI (Settings → System → About → Device Name)1: or from the command line: hostnamectl set-hostname newname But there’s a catch. Both the GUI and hostnamectl update the static hostname (/etc/hostname), but they don’t touch the /etc/hosts file. A typical /etc/hosts entry looks like this: 127.0.1.1 myhostname.mydomain myhostname The hostname maps to 127.0.1.1 so the system can resolve its own name locally.| Posts on Anagogistis
