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.
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.
