I connected to a network yesterday and checked my sys-net to see if it was randomizing. It now says user@sys-net. Has anyone encountered this issue or know what caused it/how to fix it? It was working fine on the last connection I made. Thanks! Running 4.2.3.
Are you connecting with WiFi or Ethernet?
Give more details about where do you see it and what else did you expect to see.
I was connecting to public WiFi as usual. I looked in my sys-net xfce terminal where the randomized hostname is usually there; “syn.2600.XXXX etc…”. and it just said “user@sys-net”.
I went checked /etc/dhcp/dhclient on sys-net as advised on the forums and uncommented “show hostname”, which showed me the usual randomized hostname, but didn’t change it, and for some reason even though my sys-net is not disposable, the changes I make to the file aren’t persistent. This is very odd and somewhat concerning. I’d really hate to have to reinstall again for such a thing.
Use bind-dirs to edit files outside of /home/user and /usr/local directories in app qubes:
