changing hostname locks up system
Hello everyone, I followed the online directions to change my hostname (both /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts) in vim and after rebooting and logging in, I was unable to right click to get my menu (running Openbox on XFCE with obmenu-generator) Changing it back to the original and rebooting makes everything work again.
Dell Inspirion 3583 12G Ram i3 processor Artix XFCE running Openbox Thank you in advance for your help. |
That is truly strange.
Can you link to the online directions that you followed so that others can review them? |
I'm using runit instead of systemd so that may make things a little more complicated, but here's what I followed:
https://wiki.artixlinux.org/Main/Configuration https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php...t_the_hostname https://www.tecmint.com/set-hostname...ntly-in-linux/ everything is good until etc/init.d/hostname restart gives no such file |
It has something to do with running openbox on XFCE, I'm working around it by using openbox only until I upgrade hardware and reinstall.
