hostnamectl: Failed to activate service
Posted: Mon Apr 13, 2020 1:45 pm
[PROBLEM]
Trying to set the hostname using "hostnamectl" (Xubuntu 18.04.1):
Get the following error:
It's weird, because executing the same command again "just worked".
The error message appeared after executing hostnamectl immediately after resuming from suspend mode. Maybe that's related
A possibly related Ansible issue?
