You might encounter the following error message when you log in to a Java Desktop System session:
Could not look up internet address for hostname. This will prevent GNOME from operating correctly. It may be possible to correct the problem by adding hostname to the file /etc/hosts |
Workaround: Ensure that your hostname is set up correctly in the /etc/hosts file. Perform the following steps:
Set the hostname in the /etc/hosts file as follows:
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost hostname localhost.localdomain |
hostname is the name of your system.
Ensure that your hostname is listed in the /etc/nodename file. This file must also contain the following line:
127.0.0.1 localhost loghost hostname localhost.localdomain |
