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".
This is a Asus M4A7TD 4G X86-64 and NVidia GT-440. which is working

Why are you asking about 11.4 on this list? This list is for discussing factory. Please ask on the opensuse list.

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.
