2 days ago after some digging found that setting hostnames in the server image of ubuntu doesn't persist unless you edit the /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg file and set preserve_hostname: true
once that is done then turtlebot-setup will work for changing the hostnames, so this may need adding to the pi image script
Robot Model
Turtlebot4 Lite
ROS distro
Humble
Networking Configuration
Discovery Server
OS
Other Linux
Built from source or installed?
Installed
Package version
running jazzy on pi ubuntu 2404 using t4 lite image provided on website. Have run update/upgrade to get the latest released version of packages.
Expected behaviour
Trying to use the turtlebot4-setup script to change hostname of the robot - it lists it as a change that will be made, and applying then looking in about shows the new name
Actual behaviour
the hostname does not change. reboot and name still not changed.
Error messages
To Reproduce
run
turtlebot4-setup
select about from menu. select hostname from menu
type in desired hostname, press enter

System Settings:
HOSTNAME: turtlebot4 -> new
select yes
select apply changes again, now shows no changes to be made.
