Hi, i have tried to search for it but didn't get the results to work with... basically what i wanted to do is to change the aa1's name 'localhost' to something more personal...so its going to look like this... Code: user@localhost$ --> bestuserever@mostincredibilemachine$ I browsed a lot and found a way to change the users name...it did not change the name of the home directory, but i could live with that...so how can i rename localhost? I am quite new to linux and especially to linpus...so every little bit of information is much appreciated...thx edit: I tried to overwrite /etc/HOSTNAME but with restart it was back to usual...whaat can i do? /edit
I believe all you have to do is edit the file hostname in /etc to reflect whatever you would like for a hostname Also look at /etc/hosts and check the entry for 127.0.0.1 make sure it reflect the change as well Good luck.
It's not quite that easy. See this thread: http://www.aspireoneuser.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=2378 for details & discussion.
Sorry I did not know that was just trying to help. I run Ubuntu on my aspire one and I tried it before posting. It did work for me after reboot the box came back with new name no problem. I have no knowledge of Limpus all my machines run Ubuntu. Good luck
Heh. I expected the normal approach to work as well - until I tried it! Linpus isn't exactly normal Linux
thank you for the approach...i really thought it would do the normal way...well...it doess not... My admin and i will try to figure out something and might come back to the posted ideas...if there is another way i am going to post that... greetings
