[opensuse] Hostname ?? NOT!
When I installed 13.1 on this machine I set the hostname. When I run 'hostname' or 'hostname -fqdn' I see what I expect, what I set it to. When I am at the console prompt (tty,2,3,4,5,6) I see that hostname at part of the login prompt. When I've logged in the spell prompt includes that hostname, This is all as I expect and as it should be. But with the graphical prompt I see another name 'Linux-85q8' or something like that, rather than the hostname I've set it to. WTF? Oh, right, this must be defined in the login screen definition... But where and why? Why doesn't it use the proper hostname and where does this come from? -- IOException: Jovian moons misaligned. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

The command is new to me, but I tried it in my computer, and I don't have a "transient" hostname. My guess is that the transient name is set by dhcp or a similar thing, perhaps in network manager, while the static hostname was set in YaST. The idea is that as you go from network to network, or from day to day, you get a name assigned by the dhcp server, and the name can change each time. It is, thus, transient. So... Go to yast, network module, and change the name there. If it says that it can not be, because it is controlled by network manager, change then to ifup method, temporarily, change the machine name in there, in the dhcp place disable set name dynamically or words to that effect, exit and save, and then, if you want network manager, get back in and reactivate NM. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.

You're not familiar with the term "just for kicks" either? It means just do it, without asking why; it may not be the only way to achieve the desired result.
Why can't I just use the command line?
I didn't say you couldn't.
Run 'ls', read files with 'more'?
An OFM puts it all in your face much like a GUI file manager, so you don't need to type any commands to see what lives in ., yet allows to type all you please as if it wasn't running there. Do all the extra typing you want, but you may not get the result that automatically lights the light bulb that way, rather the same view as using a GUI file manager might present if it sorted directory content the way mc does by default, DIRS first, then caps, then lowers.
What point are you trying to make in showing me what files exist in that directory?
You wrote that /etc/hostname does not exist. The question why that might be was implied by your previous post's question first quoted here above. Had you searched the content of files in /etc/ I expect you would have found the answer already. Had you been using mc, your search might possibly have been limited to a single file. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

Summary: /etc/hostname vs. /etc/HOSTNAME confusion Collapse All Comments - Expand All Comments [reply] [-] Description Christian Boltz 2014-01-15 20:18:58 UTC Bug 803653 was about /etc/hostname vs. /etc/HOSTNAME on 12.3, and especially about hostnamectl's behaviour. This bugreport is a follow-up. The behaviour on 13.1 is interesting[tm]: After a fresh install, there's only /etc/HOSTNAME (owned by netcfg package), but no /etc/hostname: -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 13 21 nov 16:05 /etc/HOSTNAME When calling "hostnamectl set-hostname ein.host.name", the result is -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 14 14. Jan 20:49 /etc/hostname lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 14. Jan 20:49 /etc/HOSTNAME -> /etc/hostname This doesn't break anything, but is at least confusing. Can you please sort out what the correct filename is? ;-) Frederic, I'm assigning this to you (like the old bug) because the primary issue is in hostnamectl. If you think other parts (installation?) need to be changed, please reassign as needed. [reply] [-] Comment 1 Frederic Crozat 2014-01-16 09:25:13 UTC /etc/HOSTNAME is created by YaST and /etc/hostname is created by systemd-hostnamed (which takes care of the migration). So, YaST should be fixed to create /etc/hostname and setup the symlink, to be compatible with the new cross-distribution way.

Hi Just tried without /etc/HOSTNAME. It works fine. We authenticate via AD which is super critical with DNS: /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 hostname.domain.name hostname localhost is all that is needed to register correctly in DNS via nsupdate to the DC when dhcp changes its IP. Anything that gives: hostname -f hostname -s and hostname -d is fine. I don't think yast does that. It's best to do DNS by hand.

Your linux-85q8 got created at installation time by the process of installing. Where it found the home from which it continues to spring on each boot has been provided you in this thread at least twice, including Cristian Rodríguez's http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2014-05/msg00799.html and my http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2014-05/msg00786.html, the latter of which provided the name of the YaST module that appears to be responsible, posits a reason why this is different in openSUSE than in other distros, and isn't in the man page you visited. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

That is what I meant by ORIGINALLY. Yes I'm aware of where its stored and can overwrite that. I know how to 'fix' it and I see how the man pages are incorrect. I was, if you go back to my original question, why 'hostname' gave the name I had set up but, as it emerged, the name given by 'hostnamectl' use used by KDM. Or to put it another way: At a tty login prompt I get one hostname and a gui login prompt I get a different hostname.[1] What makes KDM different/anomalous? Yes I see in the XML "%h" for hostname, but why does it take the 'hostnamectl' hostname rather than the `hostname' hostname? Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the 'hostnamectl' something that came in with systemd? Why do we have to so similar things that give different results? Am I to take it that - *shock *horror* - Yast has been updated to play well with systemd? All that, on top of the already mentioned SUSE twisteroos on documentation doesn’t quite make it a bug... Unless you consider documentation important, which doesn't seem to be the case here ... But back to 'originally'. At installation I got asked and gave a hostname/fqdn, the one used when the install completed at the tty prompt. Who/what dreamt up this other name, the one given by hui login prompt? How come the one I was asked to wasn't used in "both" cases? Or am I just heading down an avenue that ends up in a bug report that is so vague, complaining about inconsistencies between things maintained by different groups, that it will be ignored or be a WONTFIX? [1] Look at it this way: If I hot keyed between tt1,2,3,4,5,6 and at each got a different prompt without having specifically configured that (can you do that with systemd?) would this anomaly be considered a bug? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
