Description:
Bluetooth broadcast name is "wrong". I opened a bug report in the GNOME's official bug tracker but it has been closed since according with them, it is a *fault of us*. Exact answer here[https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/1786#note_1448321]. Please refer to the original issue, well written and with screenshots. Additional info: * upstream bug [https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/1786] |
This task depends upon
[1] https://man.archlinux.org/man/org.freedesktop.hostname1.5.en#RECOMMENDATIONS
[2] https://man.archlinux.org/man/core/systemd/hostnamectl.1.en#COMMANDS
1. the exact command you used to set the "pretty" hostname
2. the output of `cat /etc/machine-info'
2. $ cat /etc/machine-info
ICON_NAME=computer-laptop
CHASSIS=laptop
DEPLOYMENT=production
$ hostnamectl hostname mattia-xps --pretty
$ hostnamectl | grep Pretty
/etc/machine-info should now contain an entry "PRETTY_HOSTNAME=mattia-xps"
Then maybe reboot and see if it works?
$ cat /etc/machine-info
ICON_NAME=computer-laptop
CHASSIS=laptop
DEPLOYMENT=production
PRETTY_HOSTNAME=mattia-xps
PS: my previous command `hostnamectl hostname "arch-xps"` should have changed the PRETTY name too; in fact, following the `hostnamectl` man page[2]: "(...)If an optional argument NAME is provided then the command changes the system hostname to NAME. By default, this will alter the pretty, the static, and the transient hostname alike;(...)"
Either way, it's looking like no actionable Arch bug here. You'll have to examine your system in detail to find the reference to "ChromeLinux_D56B" and edit it.

First step: is it confirmed as a bug?
Do you have this issue too, or I am the only one?
