[Bug 1052664] Re: 12.10 cloud-init injects comment into /etc/hostname

[Scott Moser]

This *should* be ok, as per 'man hostname':
       -F, --file filename
              Read the host name from  the  specified  file.  Comments  (lines
              starting with a `#') are ignored.



** Summary changed:

- 12.10 cloud-init injects comment into /etc/HOSTNAME
+ 12.10 cloud-init injects comment into /etc/hostname

** Description changed:

  On the desktop builds, the default desktop environment does not respond
  favorably  to having a comment in /etc/hostname -- it inserts "# Created
  by cloud-init\n" in the bash line.
  
- ubuntu@# cat /etc/hostname 
+ ubuntu@# cat /etc/hostname
  # Created by cloud-init
- 
  
  ubuntu@# Created by cloud-init
  ip-10-196-141-203:~$ ls
  examples.desktop
  ubuntu@# Created by cloud-init
  ip-10-196-141-203:~$ ls
  examples.desktop
  ubuntu@# Created by cloud-init
  ip-10-196-141-203:~$ ubuntu-bug cloud-init
