  • Suse Leap PC has new hostname "ubuntu"

    Yesterday, I installed Leap 15.4 on a PC, it got host name "Unknown". I
    boot it today, and it is "ubuntu" WTF?
    I am wondering was it given a hostname from the ISP modem via DHCP?
    I have a whole bunch of systems with various distros. Only 4 can be
    plugged in at once, but would have used Ubuntu recently. And the modem
    has a pool of IP addresses that get recycled.

    Your modem is giving it a name via dhcp.

    Local name would be in "/etc/hostname".
