Hello,
If anybody knows more, than Autodesk (“just rename it standard linux way”), please let me know. I am rather experienced Linux admin, so it is no problem for me to setup almost anything in Linux (incl. hostname), but I am afraid there maight be relation to other Autodesk apps / services / cfgs (wiretap, machine ID, etc.), what should also be taken into account.
Thank you in advance!
Libor.
In a shell type nmtui
You can manually restart all services but a reboot will more likely help with the registration in your router and switches.

editing /etc/hostname is all you need to do. ADSK uses other configuration files for uniquely identify a workstation.
Also, you should be using RL 9.5. They even provide an update script to go 9.3 → 9.5.

Thanks, ALan.
I remember I have noticed Rocky 9.5 is compatible also with flame 2025.2.x, but since then I am not able to find it again. Are you sure I can use Rocky 9.5 for flame 2025.2.1 and 2025.2.3 (we have skipped 2025.2.2).
Thanks! 
hi philm,
I would prefer hostnamectl for setting a (new) hostname. is there any reason to prefer nmtui? I am using nmtui mostly for networking cfg.
Thanks!
@Garfield - no reason, it’s just five characters to type instead of more…

It may even be nmcli

Zero reason to hold onto 2025.2.1. Upgrade.
A lot of reasons / projects, what needs to be kept compatible, when live. 2025.2.1 is production / proven / tested version, 2025.2.2 (as I know), was more as a little “buggy”, now we are moving to 2025.2.3 and looking forward to 2026 (after the DB conversion issue will be solved, also - generaly - I have x.0.0 versions of any software) 
But my original question was, if we are sure 2025.2.1 and later is rocky 9.5 compatible. Is it or not? Thx!
I try to test Flame 2026 on Rocky Linux 8.10, I have a persistent issue “No host found on network” on the Project Management panel. And the Refresh Host List has no entry and Workspaces field is grey. I tried to manage different set up in auto.master but without success.
DKU?
Igniter?
Network Cables?
Give a little more context and detail?
DKU 20.0.0
Igniter : Trust Database
Network Cables
2 x with IP Fixe and DNS (one for network , the other to SMB server )
Thunderbolt bridge with fast access to SMB server
In Service Monitor, Network Auto-mount (autofs)
/hosts present in /etc/auto.master
but errors automount lookup (sss) setautomountent: entry for map auto.master not found
create_client: hostname lookup for .hidden failed: Name or service not know
key .hidden not found in map source(s)
all nfs and autofs services enabled?
mountd?
rpcbind?
In terminal: sudo exportfs
/opt/Autodesk
/mnt/StorageMedia
@Loooks - I sent you a link by DM - check your chat/DM on this forum
modify /etc/exportfs to include the new default project directory:
sudo nano /etc/exportfs
add this line and save:
/var/opt/Autodesk/flame/projects *(rw,sync)
export the new share:
exportfs -a
check that the share has been exported:
showmount -e <fqdn, or hostname, or ip addr>
check the new default sysconfig.cfg for flame 2026:
sudo nano /opt/Autodesk/cfg/2026/sysconfig.cfg
check the project_folders section for default_home (look for this text):
"project_folders": {
"default_home": "/var/opt/Autodesk/flame/projects/<project name>",
check that autofs, nfs and related services are installed and running:
sudo dnf -y install autofs
sudo dnf install nfs-utils
systemctl status autofs
sudo systemctl enable --now autofs
systemctl status nfs-server
sudo systemctl enable --now nfs-server
systemctl status rpcbind
sudo systemctl enable --now rpcbind
systemctl status rpc.mountd
sudo systemctl enable --now rpc.mountd

we can check the firewall settings when you get back.
Since the workstation cannot ‘see’ itself let’s do the following:
check that the hostname is set:
hostnamectl
set the hostname if necessary:
hostnamectl set-hostname <short hostname>
check active network information:
ip a
edit the /etc/hosts file:
sudo nano /etc/hosts
add:
127.0.0.1 <fqdn> <short hostname>
<ip address> <fqdn> <short hostname>
ping the workstation:
ping localhost
ping <ip address>
ping <fqdn>
ping <short hostname>
after these simple tests it would be time to take a look at dns, hostnamed
