Hello, Debian people!
I love my Chromebook. Via Crouton, i did install Ubuntu ( the internal
is Debian Wheezy, i guess).
(precise)soyeomul@localhost:/etc$ cat os-release
NAME="Ubuntu"
VERSION="12.04.5 LTS, Precise Pangolin"
ID=ubuntu
ID_LIKE=debian
PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu precise (12.04.5 LTS)"
VERSION_ID="12.04"
(precise)soyeomul@localhost:/etc$ cat debian_version
wheezy/sid
(precise)soyeomul@localhost:/etc$
By the way i cannot change hostname, i tried with followed link
[http://askubuntu.com/questions/9540/how-do-i-change-the-computer-name].
By sudo command, i edited /etc/hostname to "alex.chromebook". And i did
reboot[`/sbin/reboot']. But there is no change. Always the hostname is
"localhost".
Any comments Welcome!!! because i am going to be crazy T.T
I Want To "alex.chromebook" as hostname.
That's illegal. From http://www.rfc-base.org/txt/rfc-952.txt :
1. A "name" (Net, Host, Gateway, or Domain name) is a text string up
to 24 characters drawn from the alphabet (A-Z), digits (0-9), minus
sign (-), and period (.). Note that periods are only allowed when
they serve to delimit components of "domain style names".
