Bug#858870: gnome-control-center: Can't turn on hotspot

Wed May 10 19:23:57 UTC 2017

Hello Ricardo,

Thanks a lot for the fix you provided! For anyone else finding this, I used:

    hostnamectl --pretty set-hostname $(hostname)

However the question remains: does this need to be applied on all new
installations (Stretch), or is it a problem with the upgrade path
Jessie->Stretch?

Best,
Fran
