I just upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04 with the effect that I could not sudo any more (unable to resolve host name)
the problem is that my sysadmin had advised me to remove the line 127.0.1.1 myhostname from /etc/hosts a couple of days before the upgrade. When I put it back in, sudo worked again. mmh, a bit tricky that you cannot sudo because your network settings are wrong, and you cannot change your network settings because you cannot sudo. maybe some more thought is required here, it is too easy to make your system unsteerable... -- 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
