Bug 920281 – net-misc/networkmanager-1.42.6-r2: interferes with configured hostname

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Gentookh 2023-12-18 18:12:17 UTC]

I configured my hostname according to Gentoo Handbool (in /etc/hostname), but it was keep changing nevertheless to IP address instead.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set hostname in /etc/hostname
2. Wait for Wi-Fi network connection
3. Check output for `hostname`
Actual Results:  
`hostname` != `cat /etc/hostname`

Expected Results:  
`hostname` == `cat /etc/hostname`

Fixed using following configuration:

```
$ cat /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
[main]
hostname-mode=none
```

I think that's just how NetworkManager works by default. You should complain upstream if you don't like it.
