#335 The bluetooth device name isn't the hostname

Closed: Deferred to upstream
Reopen Issue

According to these issues, the device name used for bluetooth should sync with the device name set in System > About. However, this only happens if the distribution installs bluetoothd properly. In Fedora, the bluetooth device name in Fedora is "BlueZ [version]" instead of the hostname.

What do you make of this, @hadess ?

It might be a problem with bluetoothd. I haven't investigated it. The best option would be to file a bug and follow-up there.

Thanks @hadess .

@cereal-lava-planet - it would be great if you could report this upstream with bluetoothd.

I've sent patches upstream to bluetoothd to make it follow the "transient hostname", which is what happens when a device doesn't have a pretty name, or a static hostname.

It will be garbage by default, but changing that would be dependent on the defauilts and installer setting nice default names.

@aday I'm confused: @hadess said that patches were sent to fix the problem, but my issue was closed as "Deferred to upstream". Should I still file a issue in the bluetoothd issue tracker?

I'm reopening the issue because I'm not sure if my answer will be seen.
