I'm running an arch system with KDE4/Plasma, wpa_supplicant, networkmanager, systemd ...




cat /proc/version Linux version 5.0.0-arch1-1-ARCH (builduser@heftig-18825) (gcc version 8.2.1 20181127 (GCC)) #1 SMP

PREEMPT Mon Mar 4 14:11:43 UTC 2019




The content of my /etc/hostname reads localhost.
After boot, the shell command hostname now outputs localhost. More precisely:



# hostnamectl 
Static hostname: localhost
Transient hostname: localhost.localdomain
Icon name: computer-laptop
Chassis: laptop
Machine ID: 7e0a101cd2f0406497a6e4354fc9b3b7
Boot ID: a1424a0995da4e84b1e55b7f79df957e
Operating System: Arch Linux
Kernel: Linux 5.0.0-arch1-1-ARCH
Architecture: x86-64


When I turn on WiFi, networkmanager connects to a WiFi network and then the hostname changes. For instance:



# hostnamectl 
Static hostname: localhost
Transient hostname: localhost.localdomain
Icon name: computer-laptop
Chassis: laptop
Machine ID: 7e0a101cd2f0406497a6e4354fc9b3b7
Boot ID: a1424a0995da4e84b1e55b7f79df957e
Operating System: Arch Linux
Kernel: Linux 5.0.0-arch1-1-ARCH
Architecture: x86-64


The shell command hostname now outputs localhost.localdomain instead of localhost.



As a consequence, the KDE lock-screen cannot be unlocked and I cannot start any X applications from the terminal in KDE (or any other desktop). A typical error message is this:



$ gvim
Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 keyE233: cannot open display


When I issue hostnamectl set-hostname localhost as root, the behavior resumes to normal.



In some other WiFis, the hostname after connect is not localhost.localdomain but something even more random (it seems to be a hostname determined by the WiFi provider, mostly in big corporate networks). Why does a WiFi provider have the power to set my hostname?
Can this be changed somehow?

    That is a DHCP "feature" and not from Wifi per se. Depending on the DHCP daemon, some of those configurations can be ignored. TDLR It is a feature, not a bug. But it is not supposed to interfere with X.
