My computer suddenly believes it is called "localhost". Huh?
If I open a new terminal, I see:
cer@localhost:~>
15.2 and xfce? You can try the gui in Yast Control Center / Network Settings / Hostname / Static Hostname. IIRC, you then need to restart.
15.1, but yes, that is what I did and it worked, as I posted a moment ago. No, reboot was not necessary. But I have no idea what it changed that worked, nor what caused the problem.
The reason I asked if it was 15.2 is that I got surprised by that @localhost machine name in a fresh install of 15.2, where we instead used to get a random string of characters as the initial hostname in 15.1 and previous versions. In my case (fresh 15.2) I did IIRC need to restart.
Ah, yes, you are right, I saw it on a new install of 15.2. But this machine is old. It had the correct name and suddenly it changed. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
