I hate to keep being the wet blanket here, but . . . my /etc/hosts file looks okay (127.0.0.1 localhost, 127.0.1.1 <my hostname>). But I continue to have the gksu problem. It affects not just the upgrade manager. Anything accessed via the GUI that normally asks for a password hangs up at that point. If I really need the utility, I have to figure out which command calls it up, and then try $sudo <command>. The problem started with Hardy. I've been using Ubuntu since Dapper.
