I can not change the hostname in the chroot environment (Ubuntu) I tried hostnamectl set-hostname but it says:



Failed to create bus connection: Could not find file or folder



Then I tried changing it with hostname and edited the /etc/hostname file and put my name in it. Thought it worked but when I burned the finished remastered “.iso on a stick” and booted from it, it didn't work.






chroot hostname

  • It is hard to know what you are asking. It seems that you are using chroot, to create a file-system for copying to an ISO. It also seems that you have changes the file /etc/hostname, but this change was lost. (this is the right thing to do, hostnamectl will not be the right thing: you don't want to change the hostname of the machine that you are working on.

  • Hmm.. what am I doing wrong than or is it not even possible to change the hostname and have it final on the remastered iso? I used this instruction gtkdb.de/index_34_1259.html
