I just created a new server instance running 14.04 and the same issue
appeared.

Only way to resolve was a reboot.

Bug description:
  Hi,

  How to change hostname permanently without a reboot?

  I've changed my /etc/hostname /etc/hosts, and want the system to reflect that. 
  In pure Debian, a /etc/init.d/hostname start will do, but in Ubuntu:

  % /etc/init.d/hostname start
  Rather than invoking init scripts through /etc/init.d, use the service(8)
  utility, e.g. service hostname start

  Since the script you are attempting to invoke has been converted to an
  Upstart job, you may also use the start(8) utility, e.g. start hostname
  hostname stop/waiting

  % start hostname
  hostname stop/waiting

  What does this "hostname stop/waiting" mean here? 
  How to change hostname permanently without a reboot?

  Thanks

  PS Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick
