=== cpaelzer_ is now known as cpaelzer [08:10] Good morning [08:15] hi [08:15] goodbye [13:57] that was fast :P [14:33] Hey, I have some machines I set up on my university network with one hostname, and now I desire to change that hostname. I did the tutorial for hostnamectl, --pretty, and changing the /etc/hosts. However, over the local network I still can not log into these machines using the new hostname. Is it a matter of waiting some time or do I need to do something else? [14:34] 2 places, edit /etc/hosts and /etc/hostname [14:34] hostnamectl is just for this session, it does not get stored [14:36] how do you mean login using the new hostname? [14:36] all those things are local machine only, and don't affect other systems [14:36] you likely need to update dns [14:36] unless you are using mdns, in that case I personally dunno what is advertizing mdns [14:36] did you reboot after your changes? [14:38] I don't know how the university DNS works, but when I installed the OS's to begin with, the name i chose was somehow automatically broadcast, and other computers could see it. [14:38] I just want to repeat whatever was triggered during the initial installation process. [14:39] Is there a way to send a packet: "hey, my dns changed" ? [14:39] just edit /etc/hostname too, and you should be fine [14:39] nothing to do with dns/mdns.. [14:39] oerheks: it is, because I want this name o work when connecting via ssh from other computers on the network. [14:40] Changing hat file /etc/hostname seems to have been done automatically by hostnamectl [14:41] well, there are only two ways dns changes [14:41] mdns, that is done with broadcasts from your own system [14:41] or via dhcp dns updates [14:42] I would think a reboot would *fix* either of those [14:42] octav1a, if the name matches, there should be no issue.. [14:42] patdk-lap: can these services be restarted / updated without a reboot? [14:42] yes [14:43] how? dunno what does mdns, so I dunno [14:43] dhcp you have to restart networking on that interface [14:48] sudo dhclient -r && sudo dhclient [14:48] seems to be the solution. === Guest53 is now known as utkarsh === softpaw is now known as harmonik === harmonik is now known as softpaw === DArqueBish0p is now known as DArqueBishop === tomreyn_ is now known as tomreyn
