[opensuse] 12.1 KDE login hostname
I like the new login window, it's very clean and crisp. Hoewever, the hostname being displayed doesn't correspond to the hostname assigned by dhcp. Is there a way of fixing that? thanks Per -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.8°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Check /etc/hosts if the name of your host is listed there too. When there is no definition to an address out of 127.0.0.0/8 or any other you get the right name displayed. Cheers Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany

No, there is no definition like that, I never use that. Currently, the login screen shows "linux-t8b0", apparently ignoring the hostname that was assigned via DHCP. If I login, then out, the hostname is corrected. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (6.2°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Then you're booting with systemd. And the beast is this lightening fast to fire up the display manager before the hostname is set correctly. If that's the case file a fresh bug to allow Frederic to investigate. See http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Most_annoying_bugs_12.1 and try the workaround suggested for bug report 725917. By this you're able to ensure it's an issue caused by systemd. Lars -- Lars Müller [ˈlaː(r)z ˈmʏlɐ] Samba Team SUSE Linux, Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany

Thanks, I was beginning to suspect just that.

Willdo.
