Bug description:
  GUI
  ---
  1a. Run sudo gnome-control-center, or...
  1b. Save the gnome-control-center.pkla from https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/gnome-control-center/ubuntu/revision/556 to /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/ and then run gnome-control-center as an admin user

  2. Enter the Details panel
  3. The "Device name" (hostname) text field should be editable; change the text to something else.
  4. The hostname is updated instantly which can be verified by looking in /etc/hostname. However /etc/hosts/ is not updated.

  Command line
  ------------
  hostnamectl set-hostname

  The hostnamed documentation at http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/hostnamed says
  "To properly handle name lookups with changing local hostnames without having to edit /etc/hosts for them we recommend using hostnamed in combination with nss-myhostname: http://0pointer.de/lennart/projects/nss-myhostname/ "

  Without /etc/hosts being handled correctly, the hostnamed integration
  is only half-working.
