I changed the hostname on our server and now I've got a few issues. Specifically, I changed the following two files: /etc/hosts: # Do not remove the following line, or various programs # that require network functionality will fail. 127.0.0.1 server.localdomain server /etc/sysconfig/network: NETWORKING=yes HOSTNAME=server.localdomain When I first ran an X forwarded app with ssh or sometime when I invoke an X application (kwrite, konqueror) from the command line I would get: Can't connect to localhost:11.0 So... I set the DISPLAY variable manually: export DISPLAY=server:11.0 Now my error reads: Can't connect to server:11.0 Additionally, man ssh states that ssh will automatically set the DISPLAY variable and that users shouldn't touch it. What am I doing wrong or what did I miss ? Furthermore, I've got an issue with postgres at boot up as well. It is also looking for localhost. It does start itself later in the boot process.
