https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=424116 Summary: Can't Change Hostname Product: openSUSE 11.0 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.0 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Network AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: peter.holmes@frontiernet.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Community User (At the very least on a vanilla 1.6 GHz Dell Inspiron 530) hostname cannot be changed successfully. To replicate: 1. Do a fresh install from the i386 DVD 2. Allow the system to do all updates (kernel, Firefox, etc) 3. Computer->Control Panel->Network Settings 4. Note original hostname 4. Change the hostname to davinci If you then start a Gnome Terminal, you will see that the prompt in the terminal reads youruser@davinci but the terminal header reads youruser@oldhostname. Numerous other apps are affected similarly. Rebooting yields artifacts in the hostname. In this case you'll get the last 3 characters of the original hostname assigned by OpenSuse11. For example, an original hostname of "linux-oeb8" will become "davincieb8" -- 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.
