You have been subscribed to a public bug: Hi. During trying to change hostname with 'sudo hostname example_name' command and after re-enabled console (hostname is changed in a bash prompt), I can not open any application or edit any files, because of this error;
,-----[ hostname error ] | No protocol specified | Can't open display: %s `----- But if I return to a previous hostname, everything works. I've tried: 'gksudo gedit /etc/hostname' command, edit '/etc/hosts' file etc. Nothing works. Generally, I've tried everything, what I found on the web and what concerns to the hostname changes. ,----- [lsb_release -a ] | No LSB modules are available. | Distributor ID: Ubuntu | Description: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS | Release: 12.04 | Codename: precise | ----- | Xubuntu 12.04.2 | hostname 3.06ubuntu1 `----- Log files such as '/var/log/syslog', or '/var/log/kern.log' and '.xsession.errors' does not contains any valuable informations.
