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
