Investigating Tested here and hostname set as expected from manual entry prior to firstboot and after firstboot completes. Ran multiple installs. Can you give more details on network configuration, dhcp setup if any, and any additional steps within firstboot. Network configuration: 2 ethernet interfaces: sis900 integrated inside motherboard controller, plus e100 PCI card. dhcp: Netgear RP614v2 (forwards DNS server info from ISP, but does not provide DNS, and does nothing with hostnames). I did another fresh install, and found a more concise symptom. On the graphical installer's network configuration page, select the radio button to assign hostname Manually, and enter the name. Select one of the interfaces (click on "eth0", for instance), then click Edit. Merely observe the resulting dialog box (make no changes), and click OK to dismiss. This resets the radio button for setting hostname to Automatically, and when I proceeded through the rest of the install without setting it back to Manually, then I got localhost.localdomain. So: making no changes in Edit an interface, and dismissing with OK, resets the hostname radio button to Automatically. Dismissing with Cancel leaves the hostname radio button alone. So should OK, if no changes were made. (The user made no changes, why shouldn't the installer do the same?) Commited a fix to HEAD |
