nknown_domain

When I start up Gentoo, I get this:
gentoo14.nknown_domain
gentoo14 is my hostaname, but nknown_domain is nothing, how can I get rid of it? My /etc/dnsdomainname is totally empty...

Thanx dudes

If you are using DHCP, change this line from /etc/conf.d/net:

dhcpcd_eth0=""

to be

dhcpcd_eth0="-D"

I'm not using DHCP

But i'll try it with DHCP to see if it solves the issue.

Thanx!

Did you solve it? I'm having the same problem here... None of the howtos fixed it

I thank illc0mm, but I haven't had time to test this solution... i'm on the middle of an important task!

I'll tell you once I try to solve it that way.

Thanks!!

Can you post the contents of /etc/dnsdomainname and /etc/resolv.conf and have you added the domainname initscript to your default or boot runlevels ?

I'm having this same problem and I've done all of the above. Here's my /etc/dnsdomainname:
tc.ph.cox.net

What gives?

does the dnsdomainname command return anything ?

Here's the output of dnsdomainname:
bash-2.05b# dnsdomainname
dnsdomainname: Unknown host

What's the content of your /etc/resolv.conf ?

mutex · Tux's lil' helper Joined: 04 Sep 2003 Posts: 146

bash-2.05b$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain tc.ph.cox.net
nameserver 68.2.16.245
nameserver 68.2.16.30
nameserver 68.6.16.30

weird, AFAIK it should work with this config

mutex · Tux's lil' helper Joined: 04 Sep 2003 Posts: 146

hmm, should I submit a bug report?

Hmm, one last idea: maybe your resolver library is configure wrong, could you post the output of the following command:

Well, I just bought a new hd today and am rebuilding gentoo on the new hd (more space, yummy). So if it happens again I'll do the above. Thanks,

I still have the same problems here:

Genone · Posted: Mon Sep 22, 2003 7:25 pm Post subject:

Looks ok too, so go ahead and file a bug (but only if there is none).

mutex · Tux's lil' helper Joined: 04 Sep 2003 Posts: 146

Even with a fresh and complete rebuild of gentoo I get the same thing.

b0fh, did you already submit the bug report?

b0fh · Guru Joined: 16 Jun 2003 Posts: 426

No, I don't know how to describe this exactly. If you have an idea how developers easy understand, please do so

I found a solution to this problem by editing /etc/issue to replace the entry \O with \o

This would almost certainly appear to be bug.
