Computer name on the network is “LINUX” where can I change this?
When I first login I have to enter my keyring password. There is close to 30sec of locked PC, then it springs to life and I can enter it.
I then have to enter my WIFI password, everytime I log in. Why does it not save this?
I started with KDE and switched to gnome, my repositries could be messed up due to this.
I have a second partion on the single harddrive in the laptop.
The first time I access it I have to enter the root password.
How can I prevent this?
Hi
You can change the hostname (linux) via YaST network devices -> network settings.
Have no idea why you get the keyring, maybe KDE related? Anyway if you select the wifi in the menu (upside down triangle top right) then wi-fi settings and in here under your AP, select the wheel and then under the Identity tab select the check box ‘Make available to other users’.
You need to add the mount point either via manually editing the /etc/fstab file, or via YaST partitioner (just make sure you don’t format it!) and select the mount point you want to use by manually entering eg /data
You might get a warning that the computer is set for “NetworkManager”. You can ignore that. Just select the “Hostname/DNS” tab, and you can set hostname and domain name. I usually check the box “Assign hostname to loopback” and uncheck the box “Change hostname vi DHCP”.
When I first login I have to enter my keyring password. There is close to 30sec of locked PC, then it springs to life and I can enter it.
You probably setup the system for automatic login. It is best to turn that off. Then you are prompted for a login password, and that unlock your login keyring.
There’s a possibility that the WiFi data is in the default keyring instead of the login keyring. In that case, you have to find the keyring files and delete them. Then start over in setting up WiFi.
I then have to enter my WIFI password, everytime I log in. Why does it not save this?
I think that’s related to the keyring problem. Your keyring is not unlocked in time for it to be used. So turning off automatic login should help here.

Unlikely. But you can post the output from:
# zypper lr -d
and someone will probably be able to give you appropriate suggestions for Gnome.

i checked yast partition. It shows the mount point.
It does mount without issues, but when I first boot the PC if I try to access the drive the root password request pops up.
Then I have normal read/write access
Easy solution: Get into Network Manager settings for this connection. Then set the connection to be shared with all users. That will require the root password. But, once done, the network should connect in future without any login.
Something else is probably wrong, perhaps because you started with KDE and switched to Gnome. But making this a system connection (user-independent) should solve it for you.
On your repos: I see you have a 13.1 repo, several 13.2 repos and several Tumbleweed repos. That’s probably going to lead to a strange conflict at some time. It would be better to stick to just one of those three versions.
I delete the keyring files, not I am not prompted for any passwords after the intial SUSE login. But I still have this weird pause/delay in the system. Never had this until I went from KDE to GNOME. Anyway I can monitor what is happening to determine what the pause is?
What login manager are you using? Maybe try installing gdm and switching to it. That’s GNOME’s display manager, some functions may not work correctly with kdm e.g. (like automatic unlocking of the keyring on login ) To switch, edit the file /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager, or use YaST->System->/etc/sysconfig Editor to change DISPLAYMANAGER to “gdm”.
I think I still need to look at my repos. I thought I was all Tumbleweed?
Well, you still have the main 13.2 repos active, and you also have some additional 13.2 and even one 13.1 repo. (GNOME:3.12? Tumbleweed contains 3.14, mixing the versions like that is absolutely no good idea…) That’s definitely asking for trouble, remove them! (in particular #1, #2, #3, #5, and #6 in your list, e.g. with “sudo zypper rr 1 2 3 5 6”) You get the latest GNOME and Mozilla applications via Tumbleweed anyway, maybe a few days later after testing. If you do want or need to have those repos, use GNOME:Apps for Factory and mozilla for Tumbleweed. Please ask for the URLs if unsure, but you’d just need to replace openSUSE_13.2 with openSUSE_Tumbleweed or openSUSE_Factory in the URL respectively… Not sure if you really need the WINE repo, you should also get the latest version via Tumbleweed as well. But at least that repo is indeed intended for Tumbleweed.
