Any ideas how I can reset my machine name like it was before? Could you temporarily change the host name with the host command and recover the document?
# host machinename
Then change the hosts file and reboot. however, I would look over the entire network configuration to make sure nothing else got borked.
I tried that, and although the prompt looks correct int he xterm window, the title bar of the xterm window still shows username@localhost. When I start oocalc from within this xterm window, it still gives me the error. I found my document in openoffice's backup: ~/.ooo3/user/backup So that's not an issue. Now I'm just trying to understand what is going on. Whenever I modify the hosts file, it gets changed on reboot, but not just changed back to an original file. If I add: 127.0.0.2 machine-name.mydomain.com machine-name It gets change to: 127.0.0.2 localhost.localdomain localhost I'll try adding it multiple times and see what happens. It's just very strange. Nothing else seems out of whack. I got my normal reserved ip address from dhcp, and the other settings seem fine.
