Manually changing my hostname with hostnamectl works fine, after which the hostname controls in gnome-control-center become available.

I think this comment was just bogus (sorry) -- that was probably how it worked in 12.3, but in 13.1 it is indeed insensitive always, for the reason you mentioned. (In reply to comment #3)

The code correctly 'queries' if the user is allowed to change it and, correctly, reverts back to a insensitive input, as non-permitted.

calling hostnamectl triggers a PK dialog for authrization... which is not implemented in those GNOME dialogs to happen..

I guess this is caused because we drop gnome-control-center.rules, and GNOME provides no way to change the hostname from a non-administrator (wheel) account. So this is trickier than I expected. I guess options would be (1) hide the hostname entry, (2) turn it into a label instead of an entry, (3) accept that wheel == admin, or (4) do nothing (reasonable since this is fairly minor). I think (2) or (3) would be most correct, but (2) requires a patch we keep forever, probably not worth it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
