For what it is worth, I just checked my /etc/hosts file and found out that the first line was
127.0.0.1 localhost while the second line was 127.0.1.1 <hostname> Perhaps the first line was a leftover from manually editing the file in some previous setup. I have now commented it out and will post here if there are any problems arising from this. I do not know the significance of that first line and believe that localhost recognition now happens via /etc/network/interfaces. -- Administrator button fails to work in kde-settings and kcontrol https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/175909 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
