GNOME probleme

When I start GNOME it writes me this before starting.
"Could not look up internet address for HOME
This will prevent GNOME from operating correctly
It may be possible to correct the problem by adding HOME to the file /etc/hosts"

I must make a HOME directory in /etc/hosts?

No.
HOME is obviously the hostname of your machine.
/etc/hosts contains a mapping from hostnames to IP addresses.
Open the file with an editor and add something like
[code:1]
127.0.0.1 HOME
[/code:1]

And thinkg about why this forum is called "KDE Forum"

It want probably something like:

127.0.0.1 localhost

in /etc/hosts

Have a nice day!
