Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Putting extended ascii characters is really not a Good Idea™, many applications will not expect this when they parse your hostname. See RFC1178 "Choosing a Name for Your Computer" http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1178 Don't use non-alphanumeric characters in a name. Your own computer may handle punctuation or control characters in a name, but most others do not. If you ever expect to connect your computer to a heterogeneous network, you can count on a variety of interpretations of non-alphanumeric characters in names. Network conventions on this are surprisingly nonstandard. and http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3696#section-2 for a more in depth reasoning. If you set your hostname back to plain 'hostname' (or any other alpha-numeric name) does the issue resolve itself? ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: New => Incomplete -- Changing hostname to hostname² prevents dcopserver from loading https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346503 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
