Hello I have a new Arch linux and am within setting it up. After reboot, my transient hostname
(I actually am not sure what that is) always gets set to dhccp1.
Here are some files:
$head /etc/host*
==> /etc/host.conf <==
#
# /etc/host.conf
#
order hosts,bind
multi on
# End of file
==> /etc/hostname <==
smalla-think
==> /etc/hosts <==
#
# /etc/hosts: static lookup table for host names
#
#<ip-address> <hostname.domain.org> <hostname>
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost smalla-think
::1 localhost.localdomain localhost smalla-think
# End of file$ hostnamectl
Static hostname: smalla-think
Transient hostname: dhcppc1
…I have seen that /etc/nsswitch.conf has a myhosts entry under hosts. What is that doing? Where can I read up about it. The manpage doesn't mention it.

Try
sudo hostnamectl set-hostname --transient <foo>Offline
Thanks, I have tried
hostnamectl set-hostnameboth with the explicit --transient option and without (to set all three hostnames, as the man page states).
The hostname doesn't get persisted through restarts. After I have restarted the transient hostname is dhcppc1 again.

Have a look at the thread from last year, although it may be a different issue: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 2#p1417202

Found it on the connmand wiki page. Has a own section there:

Sorry that I haven't seen it before.
