ZSH & hostname issues

whenever I open zsh, I get this error message:

/home/InfinityDweller/.oh-my-zsh/lib/completion.zsh:37: command not found: hostname

I have no clue why it can't find hostname info...

My first thought was rc.conf and hosts

# HOSTNAME: Hostname of machine. Should also be put in /etc/hosts
#
HOSTNAME="Quasar"

#<ip-address>   <hostname.domain.org>   <hostname>
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost Quasar
::1             localhost.localdomain   localhost

any help at all would be appreciated!

Re: ZSH & hostname issues

hostname is also a binary in /bin (it's part of net-tools).  Not sure why it can't find it, but hopefully this gives you something to go on

I would guess that the script that errors out has it hard-coded to something else like /usr/bin/hostname or /usr/local/bin/hostname... take a look at line 37

I re-installed net-tools, now no problem!

Re: ZSH & hostname issues

InfinityDweller, if you've solved your problem, please mark the thread as solved.

BTW, when pasting code, please use [ code ] tags https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

like this

It makes the code more readable and more convenient to scroll through.

Re: ZSH & hostname issues

Warning: hostname utility moved from net-tools to inetutils . Now to avoid strange behavior in zsh, must:

pacman -Syu inetutils

Oh come on, it's in the news, are we going to "update" every thread about net-tools, zsh, xorg-server etc.? Arch is a rolling release, things change every day - just because it worked yesterday doesn't mean it will still work today.
