Post Install - My last distro (popOS) is showing up in random places

Cleveland · May 2, 2022, 7:34pm

My first installation of openSUSE tumbleweed went great… however… Pop-os is showing up on every window titlebar. Is there a way to quickly remove that? I used the 4.7gb iso and just let openSUSE do the work, and it looked like it did a great job. By default it set me up with btrfs, a 4gb swap and automatic partitioning while deleting my previous install of popOS… Or so I thought? At least that is the option that I chose while inside the installer.

To my surprise there are two 4gb partitions, one is obviously the swap, but the other shows up on my desktop with the contents of a popOS usb iso like it was being backed up. It must have came from my previous install. The 4gb file opened in Thunar contains these files - Casper-D38B-4C34 - a folder named “dists” a folder named “pool” and a file named “recovery.conf”

PopOS is listed on every window titlebar in openSUSE currently as (on pop-os) and that goes for thunar, mozilla, the terminal etc.

What do you think that I should do next? I apologize to the purists in advance for #1. even mentioning another distro on the forum and #2. for the use of a nvidia video card

After doing a re-installation I now by default have a 2gb swap partition instead of 4gb swap compared to the previous installation and the 4gb “backup” partition is gone. However, the pop-os showing up on every window titlebar and in my terminal is still present.

Looking at the bash prompt, the name of the system is pop-os. That is apparently set during installation. My memory is not good enough to be sure that is in one of the screens where you are asked for information, but in that case, you haven’t changed it. But you can still change the host name using hostnamectl

man hostnamectl

With btrfs make sure you never run out of unallocated space. Drive is Tumbleweed-Leap-Windows triple boot:
