Exclamation Arch Linux Hostname need quick help
So I reboot after my newest Arch install and on boot up it says it cannot get a hostname which I have setup of course and was just in while testing xterm. I also do not have a rc.conf file as I figured I would edit this to see if the Hostname was reset.

Everything else seems to be there I am currently in command line with no gui front end and my username is there and my info is in /etc/hosts.

Is your host name set in the main config? if its not in rc.conf then it will moan about it haha, you must have a rc.conf if all else fails just reinstall, useually it takes me a couple of reinstalls to get arch to a nice working desktop good luck

LOL Yeah. You have an rc.conf dude, trust us.

In it I think it even says it needs to be in the hosts file as well. Theres a hostname part. Try a cat /etc/rc.conf | grep hostname and youll see it probably says "myhost".

Gluck. Also, what does your hosts entry look like?

My rc.conf was blank when I did sudo nano /etc/rc.conf so I took a default rc.conf file from arches website and copied it in thru a liveCD. However after me editing the file I still did not have a hostname.

Do you see something that looks like this in your /etc/rc.conf:
Quote:
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# NETWORKING
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# HOSTNAME: Hostname of machine. Should also be put in /etc/hosts
#
HOSTNAME="Arch"

# Use 'ifconfig -a' or 'ls /sys/class/net/' to see all available interfaces.
#
# Interfaces to start at boot-up (in this order)
# Declare each interface then list in INTERFACES
# - prefix an entry in INTERFACES with a ! to disable it
# - no hyphens in your interface names - Bash doesn't like it
#
It will be different for you but make sure you have that line. Change it to whatever you wish.

Looks like it copied wrong or somethings wrong maybe a spelling mistake, a re install?
