Can't change hostname [Solved]

I can set the hostname with uci set system.@system[0].hostname=your-host-name and uci show system.@system[0].hostname will display the correct hostname, but I still have to access Omega2 from old-hostname.local. This is after executing uci commit, restarting avahi, and rebooting for good measure. The prompt on the command line also still displays the old hostname. I confirmed that Omega2 is rebooting by watching it via serial terminal. I just reflashed my Omega2 today with the latest firmware, so it's a fresh install. Any idea what's going on here?

Apparently, changing the hostname via the Onion Console > Settings > General Settings works, even if changing it via command line does not. Solved!
