Problem  

You may 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

Solution  

Ensure that your hostname is set up correctly. Perform the following: 

• Set the hostname in the /etc/hosts file as follows:

  127.0.0.1 localhost loghost hostname localhost.localdomain

• 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

• Add the following entry to the /etc/inet/ipnodes file:

  127.0.0.1 hostname

In each case, hostname is your system name.
