I recently installed Gnome (1.0.5x) on my Debian (Potato) system and am managing to get everything configured as I like it.
Each time I log on using GDM or KDM I get a Gnome message telling me that Gnome cannot find the internet address for scgf (my system hostname). My /etc/hosts contains: 127.0.0.1 localhost 0.0.0.0 scgf.gmx.net scgf If I do 'hostname' on the command line I get 'scgf'. Everything works fine elsewhere on the system. I receive email using fetchmail and Exim. I always assume if Exim works OK and sorts/delivers local and remote mail correctly then the system must be configured correctly. I use a dial-up ISP with dynamic IP address allocation via a V90 modem. I have no networking cards as this is a stand-alone PC. Any ideas? Cheers. -- Phillip Deackes Debian Linux
