[opensuse-factory] (none)
Again I needed to reload openSuSE 11.4 because a NET load of 12.1 failed to boot. What failed was Desktop however, failsafe would boot. I think it was a option in /boot/grub/menu.lst that this unit did not like. Now I have 11.4 up again and it works ok, but it has NO hostname in a login screen or uname -a . Yet /etc/HOSTNAME is set and /etc/hosts is correct and all entries in it can be reached with ping. Yast2 was checked for a Hostname and it was correct. All logins show "(none)" and so does "/bin/hostname".

Why are you asking about 11.4 on this list? This list is for discussing factory. Please ask on the opensuse list. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Ken, if you reread the original post I think you will see that it is about a problem caused after installing 12.1, not 11.4. Always a good policy to check responses before hitting send.

Don, have you read other posts in this list concerning not being able to login initially after installing 12.1-M1? Seems that the default session (KDE) has a problem. The workaround is to select plasma desktop in the session popup in the lower left corner of the login window. That only has to be done the first time.
