To be strictly accurate: In /etc/hosts, the line 127.0.0.1 is for localhost. The line that should actually be changed is 127.0.1.1 (as p8me's answer illustrates). For more details, see What is difference between localhost address 127.0.0.1 and 127.0.1.1

So using hostnamectl won't change your prompt. To check the new prompt, enter "bash" to start a subordinate bash process". Or you can log out and log in. | |
