Yes, but where does that 'Static hostname' come from? And why is the greeter using it?
The command is new to me, but I tried it in my computer, and I don't have a "transient" hostname. My guess is that the transient name is set by dhcp or a similar thing, perhaps in network manager, while the static hostname was set in YaST. The idea is that as you go from network to network, or from day to day, you get a name assigned by the dhcp server, and the name can change each time. It is, thus, transient. So... Go to yast, network module, and change the name there. If it says that it can not be, because it is controlled by network manager, change then to ifup method, temporarily, change the machine name in there, in the dhcp place disable set name dynamically or words to that effect, exit and save, and then, if you want network manager, get back in and reactivate NM. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
