[20:41] <mand0rla> Hi, I'm new to Linux and I want to change my PC name (hostname?). Best way to do it? thanks ;)
[20:42] <mand0rla> sudo hostname "new name" ?
[20:42] <mand0rla> that's temporary I think
[20:43] <wxl> mand0rla: edit /etc/hostname as the manpage of hostname tells you
[20:45] <mand0rla> hi wxl
[20:46] <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)
[20:47] <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
[20:51] <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> ?
[20:52] <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
[20:54] <notmacbook> do you open the editor with gksudo?
[20:55] <mand0rla> gedit
[20:55] <mand0rla> I think
[20:56] <mand0rla> I think I said something that doesn't make sense... ^_^
[20:56] <mand0rla> I'll follow the webpage I found. Thanks
[21:09] <mand0rla> Ok notmacbook, I changed my hostname
[21:09] <mand0rla> thanks
[21:10] <mand0rla> but I wanted to install ailurus and I couldn't
