Subject: networkmanager hostname woes
Date: Wed, 13 Sep 2017 12:05:29 +0200 (CEST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170913.120529.1808480687765633530.thomas.danckaert@aeronomie.be> (raw)

Hi Guix,

since the change to networkmanager, I've been running into the 
following problem: when I connect to a wireless network using 
networkmanager, I can no longer start graphical applications 
(starting any program fails with “cannot open display :0.0” and 
similar messages).

AFAIU, the cause is that networkmanager changes my hostname (after 
DHCP?), in my case to “new-host2” or something similar, and this 
seems to break the X session.  When I manually restore the hostname 
with “sudo hostname <original-hostname>”, the problem is solved.  Is 
there anyway to disable this behaviour for networkmanager?

Thomas
