Hi. During trying to change hostname with 'sudo hostname example_name'
command and after re-enabled console (hostname is changed in a bash
prompt), I can not open any application or edit any files, because of
this error;
,-----[ hostname error ]
| No protocol specified
| Can't open display: %s
`-----
But if I return to a previous hostname, everything works. I've tried:
'gksudo gedit /etc/hostname' command, edit '/etc/hosts' file etc.
Nothing works. Generally, I've tried everything, what I found on the web
and what concerns to the hostname changes.
,----- [lsb_release -a ]

Log files such as '/var/log/syslog', or '/var/log/kern.log' and
'.xsession.errors' does not contains any valuable informations.
Best regards.
