Hello SuSE people,

Testing 11.1 with KDE 4.1

Konsole, or any terminal refuses to use my hostname. When it opens it says bob@linux-81s3 ~Documents. Where do I change that? It also will not keep any configuration I have set for it.

PS KDE4 still has a loooong way to go.

If you don't mind updating, you will change your mind over KDE4 with KDE 4.2. See http://en.opensuse.org/KDE/KDE4#Installation for URLs, or 1-click install links.

Hello Rajko,

No I don't mind updating. I did the oneclick right after it was put in the "Factory" repo. At that time it also installed the regular "Factory" repo and I ended up with 11.2 alpha. Couldn't back out of that and ended up reinstalling 11.1 with KDE4.1. After I did that I saw a couple of threads concerning the QT versions and it's interaction with 4.2. I even asked on this list. on the 19th, (One click or not?) what other people were doing. Didn't get a reply.

There is Factory where whole distribution is changing, not KDE alone, and there is KDE-factory, which is compiled for 11.1, for instance in the: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/ you have 5 options (directories): SLE_10/ 20-Feb-2009 18:38 - openSUSE_10.3/ 20-Feb-2009 18:44 - openSUSE_11.0/ 20-Feb-2009 18:58 - openSUSE_11.1/ 20-Feb-2009 18:45 - openSUSE_Factory/ 21-Feb-2009 17:29 - You have 11.1 and you can use: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/KDE:/KDE4:/Factory:/Desktop/openSU... If you see dependency problem, better ask the list before you select some option. I had problem too, and from all conflicts at the end all settled with 2-3 packages, and since then I had no conflicts. The only problem is that anyone able to help you have to see the list of conflicts. There are few options. For instance: - Using text, which can be complicated with line breaks, - Using images and http://www.imgbin.org/, created with PrtScr key, ie. KSnapshot, which may need more than one image to get whole picture.

I will answer ne (whoever the hell he is directly.

The only problem I can see is mismatch in the mood that happened today, so I would not extend the problem. See my reply.

Bob S.

If you need help in setting up your prompts, you should ask for it nicely.

Clearly, PEBKAC. See what others have said about changing your hostname. What configuration and where was it set? If you need help in setting up your prompts, you should ask for it nicely. A simple question like: how can I set up my konsole prompt so that it displays x, y & z is all that is needed. man bash and search for PS1, PS2, PS3 & PS4. You might come up with something like the lines below:

PEBKAC indeed! Maybe you ought to follow your own advice. When you have been on this list as long as I have been maybe you will learn not to shoot off your mouth without knowing anything about the person you are responding to. And I don't mean me in particular, anybody. I am by no means an expert as you purportedly are, but I do know the basics of how to set these things up, I only ask when I can't figure out what happened after doing the proper things. FYI The hostname is properly set up with Yast in Network Settings > Hostname. There is no Hostname/DNS tab in 11.1 like there is in 10.3 or I would have gone through that also. (Jay, thanks, but no cigar) So tell me hotshot, and I'm asking "nicey nice" what is the problem with Yast or bash that bash doesn't see the properly set up hostname in Konsole or an Xterm? Where are you nasty arrogant people coming from? This used to be a nice list.
