1) Message boards : BOINC Manager : Device Name (Message 8898) Posted 19 Mar 2007 by kyle.arnone Post: In regards to the computer "device" name, "domain" name, host, etc. Using the Windows or Mac client, if I change the computer name, the next time I load Boinc, it updates the client_state.xml file with the new name, and then that gets updated to the World Community Grid project I am doing. However, I am having an issue with the changing of the Boinc Linux client. I've tried many different methods, but it still just says localhost.localdomain in the client_state.xml, and reading 127.0.0.1 as the ip. If anyone knows how I can change the hostname properly on Linux so Boinc will read it, let me know. Thank you!
