10.4: Fixed! Compressor background process error
Authored by: djarsky on Oct 28, '05 07:27:15PM

I found a solution! I'm running 10.4.2

Since the computer's name isn't being returned when Qmaster does a reverse DNS check, you can manually enter the name in the hosts file and use 127.0.0.1 as the IP address.

Here's my 'hosts' file (it's located in /etc):

127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 imac
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost

Note the line I added above (in bold). I used 'imac' because that's the name of the computer in the Sharing pane. You can make it anything legal (letters and numbers -- I believe no spaces or funny characters other than hyphens).
