hostname stuck as ubit0-6

[bgulla]

just installed Arch Linux ARM on my goflexnet, for some reason my command prompt is ' [root@ubit0-6 ~]# ' and my network host name is the ubit0-6. I changed it in /etc/rc.conf but theres no change. any ideas?

Hi, bgulla.

Same problem here.

Hostname set at startup in /etc/rc.syscofig

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'if [ "$HOSTNAME" != "" ]; then
status "Setting Hostname: $HOSTNAME" /bin/hostname $HOSTNAME
fi')

Likely after some update 'hostname' bin was removed.
So i downloaded http://plugboxlinux.org/os/2011.02/Plug ... tfs.tar.gz to temp folder and put hostname to bin.

I'm little bit scary that other important things go away with update

This was fixed, as Arch moved it package to package without much warning. A full Syu will resolve the problem.
