Change PC Name in KUbuntu

[ghendric]

I'm new to KUbuntu and am still discovering it but I've ran across a problem. I can't change the name of my PC for the network. I've went into the network settings but the Administration Mode option isn't available. How do I get that back?

Thanks

I don't know how to get network settings working but your hostname is in /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts.

I tried your advice, And it was only necessary to edit the etc/hostname file, by opening a terminal and typing sudo dolphin, then browsing to /etc. Then I changed the hostname from Ubuntu to laptop, Saved the file, And rebooted my system. It worked nicely, thank you.

You can also change it from the console with:

sudo hostname new_hostname

Type: man hostname in the console for information.
