I have seen that there is a topic about an old Topspin version but it didn't help me.

If you defined a hostname when you installed Linux, try this: export COMPUTERNAME="$HOSTNAME" If the command "echo $HOME" shows nothing, replace $HOSTNAME with the name of your computer in the export command. If that solves the problem, you can make it permanent by adding the export statement to $HOME/.bash_profile as the last line and activate it by logging out and logging in again.
