Title: Artix Linux installation guide doesn't instruct users to modify /etc/hosts.
Post by: MilkCow on 27 November 2020, 10:27:17
Because it didn't instruct me to modify /etc/hosts, I forgot to add

Code: [Select]
127.0.0.1 localhost
::1 localhost

to /etc/hosts. Thus, opensmtpd failed to start. It took a while to figure out the issue.

for @devs
editing etc/hosts really MISSING in our guide - see  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Installation_guide#Network_configuration
we have only info about hostname.


Thanks for report, MilkCow

A default /etc/hosts actually exists in all ISOs (https://gitea.artixlinux.org/artix/iso-profiles/src/branch/master/common/root-overlay/etc/hosts) except base, but then again there's no reason not to include it there too base is base.
