Type the command that reports a systemd system's hostname settings — static, and pretty or transient where they differ — together with its machine ID, operating system and kernel version.

LPIC-1 Exam 102-500, objective 109. Networking fundamentals easy

Machine-checked — no person has signed for it. This question was read against the source cited below by an automated pass, which found no contradiction. That is a weaker claim than it sounds: the same kind of process wrote the question, so it can confirm its own mistake.

Treat it as a good draft rather than as settled fact, and read the source below before you rely on it. It is not used in mock exams here — only questions a person has signed for are.

Case sensitive — Linux is, and grading LS as ls would teach a falsehood.

Why

hostnamectl with no verb defaults to status, printing the three hostname classes plus identifying details such as the machine ID, boot ID, chassis, operating system and kernel. The static hostname is the persistent one in /etc/hostname; the transient one is the kernel value that DHCP or a container runtime may set at runtime; the pretty one is a free-form UTF-8 label stored in /etc/machine-info. Individual values are set with `hostnamectl set-hostname`, optionally narrowed by --static, --transient or --pretty.
