Yes, both the BBB and RPi2 use Archlinux. Once you change it you need to log out and back in or reboot to see the change. 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio From: k8it@cac.net To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2015 00:20:20 -0400 Subject: Re: [App_rpt-users] shortcut to change hostname Doug on the rpi2 asterisk v1.0 Thanks 73 Neil Sablatzky K8IT Allstar Node 41838 KITLINK Allstar Node 42087 KITLINK HUB IRLP Node exp0068 Echolink K8IT-L WIRES-X K8IT 11479 Room 21479 From: Doug Crompton Sent: Wednesday, August 26, 2015 9:54 PM To: Neil k8it Cc: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Subject: RE: [App_rpt-users] shortcut to change hostname Neil, I assume you want to change the hostname. The proper way to do that in Archlinux is: hostnamectl set-hostname myhostname Replace myhostname with the name you want it to be. 73 Doug WA3DSP http://www.crompton.com/hamradio From: k8it@cac.net To: app_rpt-users@ohnosec.org Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2015 17:14:14 -0400 Subject: [App_rpt-users] shortcut to change hostname I had made a typo when initializing a RPI2 and used nano to edit /etc/hostname and I fixed my typo . it worked until I rebooted and my typo returned. how do I make it perminate? /etc/hostname file still has the correct name in it.
