Title: hostname resetting to "artixlinux"
Post by: pcranaway on 23 April 2022, 12:00:01

Hi there!

Fresh install, and my hostname keeps resetting to 'artixlinux' every time I log in, pretty weird.

/etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1	localhost
::1		localhost
127.0.1.1	air

/etc/hostname:

air

hostname output:

artixlinux

(Using OpenRC)

Try to do the following: delete the /etc/hostname file and create the /etc/conf.d/hostname one with the following content:

Code: (/etc/conf.d/hostname) [Select]

hostname=air

(this is an OpenRC-specific feature)

This is in the Artix wiki:

If you use OpenRC you should add your hostname to /etc/conf.d/hostname too:
Code: [Select]
hostname='myhostname'
