[opensuse] Hostname??
I installed 11.0 a couple of days ago. I don't recall the installation program asking for a hostname; I suppose if I had thought about it, I would have assumed it would pick up the old hostname somehow. In fact, it assigned an arbitrary set of characters, linux-1pkh, which has of course made a mess of my home network. How can I fix the hostname? I hoped to find a way in yast, but I haven't yet. I know where to assign external hostnames, both by hand and in yast, but I can't find a way to assign my laptop's original hostname. I don't mind reinstalling, if that's necessary (which I can't believe!), but I still don't know where in the installation to set the hostname, so that hardly seems likely to improve the situation. How can I fix this? John Perry -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Go to yast->network devices->network card and click on the hostname/dns tab Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

My menu doesn't have 'Network Card' but substituting 'Network Settings' seems to do the job. Don Henson -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I described the kde version of yast, the gnome version may be slightly different. The important thing is that you located the settings. Joe -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Submitted as bug 404836. I noticed the same thing. There is no network
configuration option at all in the installation process.

Ah. So there was more to it than my ignorance and inattention. Thanks. jp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
