[Bug 837196] Re: Cannot change bluetooth name

[Carl-Eric Menzel]

Also, in that upstream bug the gnome dev seems to think a Bluetooth name
must always be the same as the system's hostname.
(https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658154, "No, and we're not
interested in supporting that.")

Ignoring for a moment the condescending attitude that is infesting Gnome
nowadays, I have a usecase that seems to require being able to change
the bluetooth name (unless I overlooked something, feel free to correct
me). I have two different Ubuntu installations on the same laptop, one
for work, one for private use. They have different names. In earlier
versions of Ubuntu I tried just connecting to both with different names
via bluetooth, which didn't work. Changing the bluetooth names to be
identical on both installations seemed to (mostly) work. It seems that
this would no longer be supported.
