I finally find what is the problem. But before I say you, I found these problems are very common, across different distribution (confirmed on one fedora and one gentoo instalation), so I suggest to fix this bug in more consistent way. So what is the problem? During the instalation, i was asked to add my hostname, so I type "ubuntu710" but this name has not been writen to /etc/hosts, there was this instead:
127.0.0.1 localhost ubuntu ubuntu7 ubuntu7.10 But not ubuntu710 which was what I was requested. Of course, `hostname` report my correct name which is "ubuntu710". So, It seems some applications (such as xterm, mc, gnome-terminal, ...) are resolving `hostname` rather than "localhost", which is in most cases fine, but not when connection is down. So what to do? I suggest som "control mechanism" which fix (or alert?) difference between `hostname` and /etc/hosts settings for localhost. -- Ubuntu 7.10 almost freeze when net cable is unplugged https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173482 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
