[Bug 444967] New: hosname cannot be changed when the network type is " user managed by NetworkManager"
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=444967 Summary: hosname cannot be changed when the network type is "user managed by NetworkManager" Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: Beta 5 Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: YaST2 AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: nice@titanic.nyme.hu QAContact: jsrain@novell.com Found By: Other I have to change to the ifup managed mode in order to be able to change the hostname. Why? But then, interestingly, after changing back to NetworkManager mode, openSUSE remembers the hostname, set in ifup mode. This may be very confusing and annoying for new and/or inexperienced users. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

How do you change the hostname? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Of course. This is why I reported it as a YaST bug (I hope so). Or haven't I?

Editing /etc/HOSTNAME is a nice workaround for now but no solution for a longer period of time.
Indeed. As mentioned in comment #11, this should handled by NetworkManager and it hopefully will be in openSUSE 11.2. For the time being, the workaround was added to YaST (where it was a question of un-disabling four widgets). So just ignore the evil "Network is currently controlled by ..." pop-up and set the hostname in YaST's Network Settings module. This will be yast2-network 2.17.61 -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Changing /etc/hostname or /etc/HOSTNAME *do not* change the hostname!! may be it's in an other file. and the hostname command don't works!
Then please file a separate bug against basesystem (and not YaST, which cannot influence on how 'hostname' command works in any way) and describe how it should work and how it really works instead.
I had also to change network manager to ifup (and have stupidly smppd added when I have no modem) to be able to change the hostname, and after that back again to network manager.
I'm sorry, the fix for this bug did not make it into 11.1 final release (which contains y2-network 2.17.60 only - you need to have 2.17.61 to actually see the fix). Hopefully, it'll be available in Factory soon -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
