+ | ====== Change Hostname in Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) ====== | ||
+ | In order to change your host name you need to edit two files and then reboot the system. | ||
+ | |||
+ | In my examples below I use //vi// as the editor. If you are not familiar with //vi// you can replace it with something like //gedit// (for a GUI editor) or //pico// (for an easy to use command line editor). | ||
+ | |||
+ | 1. Edit the hostname file. | ||
+ | |||
+ | This file contains a single line that includes only the hostname itself and nothing else. Replace the current hostname with the one you'd like. | ||
+ | |||
+ | sudo vi /etc/hostname | ||
+ | |||
+ | 2. Now, we need edit the hosts file so that the system can find your new host name. To do that, run the following command. | ||
+ | |||
+ | sudo vi /etc/hosts | ||
+ | |||
+ | Change the hostname on the second line. See the example below. | ||
+ | |||
+ | 127.0.0.1 localhost | ||
+ | 127.0.1.1 <hostname> | ||
+ | |||
+ | 3. Finally, reboot the system with the following command. | ||
+ | |||
+ | sudo shudown -r now |
