Subject: Ubuntu Server Device Name
Hi,

I am in the process of installing Ubuntu server 24.04 as a guest using
VirtualBox on Win 10. To do so I have to deactivate my access control
list on my router.

This guest is in the initial process of being configured. I an on the
very first question that is about the keyboard.

I am looking at my firewall and is showing it has a device name of
"UBUNTU-SERVER". It has an IP that I assume was provided by the router
(dhcp).

Where does this device name of "UBUNTU-SERVER" come from? I assumed in
the past this was the hostname.

In the past when I have configured a guest using Ubuntu 24.04 server,
after completing the install, the device name in my router says
"UNKNOWN". It does not show the hostname.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!!
Keith
