[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #51830] uname nodename sometimes gives "localhost" instead of pc name

[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #51830 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Need Info

Follow-up Comment #1:

Please try to figure out what set of conditions cause this to happen.

Also try calling uname with 3 output arguments


[utsname, err, msg] = uname


If err is nonzero, then msg should describe the error.

If err is zero and you still get localhost, then this is probably a failure in
the gethostname function on Windows, which is outside of the scope of Octave
to fix. If you can come up with a reproducible test case, it might be worth
reporting to gnulib. We can help you debug this and work up a minimal test
case for gnulib, but other than that it's probably not something Octave can do
anything about.
