Nxdomain

[sacoskun]

Hi there,

When I open a new terminal(gnome-terminal) window, it starts with

userName@3(NXDOMAIN)

What does NXDOMAIN mean? It was "computerName" before.

Thanks,

NXDOMAIN means non-existent domain.

What do you get when you:

hostname --fqdn

?

Hi rong,

My terminal gives;
1st terminal;

sarp@sac:~> hostname --fqdn
hostname: Unknown host

2nd terminal;

sarp@3(NXDOMAIN):~> hostname --fqdn
hostname: Unknown host

what do you mean by non-existing domain?

My first terminal opens as normal, however, when I open another one, it shows this NXDOMAIN.

Thanks,

When you first installed you were prompted to enter a hostname and domain name. In your case these names can be anything you want and your post said that it used to be "computerName". If you want more detailed info just Google.

I suggest you go into YAST>Network Services>Host Configuration and depending on what you see either ADD or EDIT your hostname and host alias. I believe that will be at ip address 127.0.0.2.
