deja-dup gets wrong hostname

CollieJim · 05-28-2014, 07:22 AM

Hi,

I have recently switched to ArchLinux and now deja-dup (30.0-1) is telling me the hostname has changed when it has not. It now says it is localhost.localdomain.

It was and still is XY-ABCDE.
/etc/hostname

Code:

XY-ABCDE

/etc/hosts

Code:

#
# /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names
#

#<ip-address>   <hostname.domain.org>   <hostname>
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost  XY-ABCDE
::1             localhost.localdomain   localhost  XY-ABCDE

# End of file

How do I get it to use XY-ABCDE ?

Thanks
Jim

When you type #hostname onto the command line, what name is returned?

Code:

# hostname
XY-ABCDE

That's actually the answer I was hoping for.

deja-dup (11.1-0ubuntu1) lucid; urgency=low * New upstream release - Fixes some restore issues (LP: #483631 and LP: #481582) - Can delete old backups (LP: #325005) - Can cleanly handle changed hostnames (LP: #454591)

I dug into it, a bit. Apparently your salvation lies behind this door in the form of a patch addressing LP: #454591. It's a launchpad login, hopefully you got one of those things.
Good luck
