This problem occurred for my friend on his laptop when he upgraded from Gusty to Hardy. I first tried going into recovery mode and resetting the hostname, but there was no change. So instead I used the network-admin to change /etc/hosts; I aliased 127.0.0.1 as the hostname and localhost.
I'll try reproducing this on my own machine later, and see if I can confirm that network-admin corrupts the hosts file by adding the domain to the end of the host. -- sudo shouldn’t ABSOLUTELY NEED to look up the host it’s running on https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/32906 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
