Re: DCOPServer could not be started
by silence on Tuesday 07/Oct/2003, @16:17

on my machine (mandrake 9.1) the problem was that it was configured to get a hostname (which looked like this: 1,6,<mac-address of my nic>) from the dhcp server of my isp, which dcopserver seems quite to dislike.

the solution was to enter a hostname in /etc/hostname and to prevent dhcp from resetting it. to achieve this you just have to open /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 (in my case eth1 is the nic connected to my cable modem) and change the line "NEEDHOSTNAME=yes" to "NEEDHOSTNAME=no"
