--- Comment #12 from eemantsal <[email protected]> --- I set the machine's name when I installed the OS, and, to be sincere, I had no idea at all one could nor should use localhost -you mean «localhost» as the computer's name, right?- in xauth's cookies and DISPLAY, amont other things because I have no clue about how to set the name in xauth's cookies, nor in DISPLAY. :/ Here is what you asked: $ hostname -f Juan-PC $ host $(hostname -f) bash: host: no se encontró la orden (command not found) $ ip addr 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 brd 127.255.255.255 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: sit0@NONE: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1 link/sit 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0 3: wlp12s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 0e:9b:57:62:68:cc brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.1.37/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global dynamic wlp12s0 valid_lft 259197sec preferred_lft 259197sec inet6 fe80::c9b:57ff:fe62:68cc/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 4: eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state DOWN group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:1c:23:ae:83:50 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff $ ip route default via 192.168.1.1 dev wlp12s0 proto static metric 600 127.0.0.0/8 dev lo scope host 192.168.1.0/24 dev wlp12s0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.37 metric 600 Recreating the connection does behave the same, yes. I have stopped Networkmanager and connected with iwconfig from Konsole, and I have seen the name doesn't change (I think I had never paid attention to this detail). Seems that is NM the one that changes the PC name. Why iwconfig doesn't need to change it but NM does. Do you think there's a justified motive for it or is it a bug? Anyway you still advice me to set my PC name as «localhost» in xauth's cookies and DISPLAY? If yes, would you be so kind to tell me how or pointing me to some page where it's explained? Many thanks for your time, Larmarque. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
