| mand0rla | Hi, I'm new to Linux and I want to change my PC name (hostname?). Best way to do it? thanks ;) | 20:41 |
|---|---|---|
| mand0rla | sudo hostname "new name" ? | 20:42 |
| mand0rla | that's temporary I think | 20:42 |
| wxl | mand0rla: edit /etc/hostname as the manpage of hostname tells you | 20:43 |
| mand0rla | hi wxl | 20:45 |
| wxl | heyo | 20:46 |
| notmacbook | @wxl Just got the new memory 4GB. hopefully this decrease the extreme slowdowns. | 20:46 |
| wxl | memory's always a good thing to have, notmacbook | 20:46 |
| mand0rla | I found this https://etechroom.com/change-hostname-in-ubuntu-17-10/, some others say I should use an app to manage ubuntu | 20:46 |
| mand0rla | ubuntu tweaks or alerius or something like that (I forgot) | 20:46 |
| wxl | mand0rla: you can do that but it's completely and totally unnecessary | 20:47 |
| wxl | bbl\ | 20:47 |
| mand0rla | how do I edit that wxl? my understanding of lubuntu is quite basic | 20:47 |
| mand0rla | I found the file, I just can't edit it | 20:51 |
| mand0rla | problems when saving | 20:51 |
| notmacbook | @mand0rla, to change your hostname | 20:51 |
| notmacbook | ? | 20:51 |
| notmacbook | it could be that whatever process your are using to change it is without root privaleges | 20:52 |
| mand0rla | yeah I'm trying | 20:52 |
| mand0rla | directly | 20:52 |
| mand0rla | maybe I should try through terminal? | 20:52 |
| mand0rla | dunno | 20:52 |
| notmacbook | do you open the editor with gksudo? | 20:54 |
| mand0rla | gedit | 20:55 |
| mand0rla | I think | 20:55 |
| mand0rla | I think I said something that doesn't make sense... ^_^ | 20:56 |
| mand0rla | I'll follow the webpage I found. Thanks | 20:56 |
| mand0rla | Ok notmacbook, I changed my hostname | 21:09 |
| mand0rla | thanks | 21:09 |
| mand0rla | but I wanted to install ailurus and I couldn't | 21:10 |
