Unable to set hostname in Ubuntu 12.04 (and any version without hostnamectl)

[aidanhs]

Broken by #5753 I assume.

Probably should be return super unless vivid?.

Error:

The following SSH command responded with a non-zero exit status.
Vagrant assumes that this means the command failed!

hostnamectl set-hostname 'myhostname'

Stdout from the command:



Stderr from the command:

stdin: is not a tty
bash: line 3: hostnamectl: command not found

I am facing the same issue and using return super unless vivid?solved the problem.

Happens in Ubuntu 14.04 as well, but your patch covers it too.
Still, can you please update the bug title to match that version as well? Thanks!

Updated.

Actually, not sure why it would happen on 14.04. According to #5947, "hostnamectl was introduced to ubuntu after 13.04". Re-tweaked issue title.

The program belongs to systemd-services which was not required until Ubuntu switched to systemd by default in 15.04. So in 14.04 the package might be missing on some systems. In my case, I'm using vagrant-lxc with the default image by @fgrehm fgrehm/trusty64, which does not contain the package.

Anyway, thanks for updating the bug description!
