Hostname keep changing to "debian" automatically post boot

Issue: Hostname keep changing to "debian" automatically post boot

- /etc/hosts & /etc/hostname both have right machine name listed.
- while booting the original hostname assigned shows up offering you to login.
- But once you open qterminal post complete bootup hostname has changed to debian.

Unable to figure up why it is happening and this happens every bootup.

Is the output of hostname -f correct?
If so, you might try to temporarily move .config/qterminal.org to some other name/location and start and check qterminal again.

Did you boot up debian live image on this machine? If so, the hostname could come from dhcpd (youre router). dhcpd caches mac-ip-hostname for some time. You could flush it from your router or wait for 1 or 2 days. The cache will expire and your new hostname will be accepted.

This is another possibility. See here: https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,3017.msg21421.html#msg21421
