[Bug 1052664] [NEW] 12.10 cloud-init injects comment into /etc/HOSTNAME

[Ben Howard]

Public bug reported:

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 
# 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
