I would look around in the network configuration. You said you use network manager. That may be writing something everytime it starts network services. It's been a while since I used that, but there is an option to use traditional ifup if I recall. Also there is an option to not write to hosts file.
Yeah, I did this and it is something with Network Manager. I disabled it for ifup and rebooted and now it's working as it should. oocalc started and did it's normal document recovery, etc.
I've been using NM for a pretty long time. How can I tell if it was one of the updates that installed recently?
There aren't many options in configuring NM in it's GUI.
Thanks, James
Very strange. As soon as I turned Network Manager back on the machine name changed back to localhost. I found some people mention there was a way to tell it not to modify /etc/hosts. I ended up modifying /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp and changed: DHCLIENT_SET_HOSTNAME="no" WRITE_HOSTNAME_TO_HOSTS="no" It's weird that DHCLIENT_HOSTNAME_OPTIONAL is set to the correct hostname. For the moment it's working correctly now, even after reboot. Thanks, James -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
