In this tutorial, we will assume that the hostname you want is “pluto”.<\/p>\n

For Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin)<\/h3>\n

\n
1. On your SSH Terminal, type:\u00a0hostname pluto<\/code><\/li>\n
2. Using\u00a0nano<\/code>, you can then type:\u00a0nano \/etc\/hostname<\/code><\/li>\n
3. Type in\u00a0pluto<\/code>, then press\u00a0Ctrl + X<\/strong>, then\u00a0Y<\/strong>, then\u00a0Enter<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
4. Now, again using\u00a0nano<\/code>, type\u00a0nano \/etc\/hosts<\/code>\u00a0to edit the hosts file.<\/li>\n
5. Add another line on top, it should read:\u00a0127.0.0.1 pluto<\/code><\/li>\n
6. Confirm your changes by typing\u00a0hostname<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

   For Ubuntu 14.04 (Trusty Tahr) \/ 14.10 (Utopic Unicorn)<\/h3>\n
