https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1224462 Bug ID: 1224462 Summary: RC2 Tik installer / first boot doesn't prompt for hostname Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Aeon Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: Installation Assignee: rbrown@suse.com Reporter: solutionroute@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Target Milestone: --- Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/125.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Build Identifier: Aeon is a turnkey solution and a hostname - blank if expected to be set via a corp or home DHCP, manually set if not - should be part of the install (preferable) or first boot. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Actual Results: No hostname is gathered during the install or first boot and therefore not set. Expected Results: Provide opportunity for user to enter a hostname and set /etc/hostname, optionally leaving blank for DHCP situations. It's a small thing that most with-it users will know how to address, but would make the system more finished at first boot. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

They never see it, they never need it And those who do can just run hostnamectl, no? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
