I cloned a VM, named bionic-base.
Trying to change the hostname from bionic-base to cacti.
Researched all day.
Changed /etc/hostname and used hostname to set.
Updated /etc/hosts.
Reboot. Reverts back to bionic-base.
Checked all of /etc for any reference to bionic-base.
None found.
Used hostnamectl set-hostname “cacti”.
Reboot. Reverts back to bionic-base.
I’m gone through the VMware config.
Advanced setting, nvram has name as cacti.
VM is named cacti.
STILL reverts back to bionic-base.
What’s the dealio?
Any ideas on where to go with this?
I’ve spent too much time on this.
I hope the community or a Canoncial engineer may have an answer.
Thank You in advance and blessings upon you.
Regards,
Danny
