Public bug reported:
What has been done:
Network update of Kubuntu 7.10 x64 to Kubuntu 8.04 RC using GUI updater
(adept_manager).
What's happened:
Generally system has been updated OK but after reboot I did encountered quite
sad issue:
Neither kdesu nor sudo are no longer working.
Therefore I'm unable to update system with new packages, etc in easy manner.
System settings are available in user mode only (admin mode fails in KDE
applets), etc.
Some investigation has shown that something related to host name has
been messed up during update.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo sh
sudo: unable to resolve host ath64
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ kdesu sh
sudo: unable to resolve host ath64
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -a
Linux ath64 2.6.24-16-generic #1 SMP Thu Apr 10 12:47:45 UTC 2008 x86_64
GNU/Linux
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ hostname
ath64
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.04
Release: 8.04
Right now there is 61 updates pending but no easy way to install them
via UI (if you're clicking icon, nothing happens).
Note: this also means kdesu has a bug: it does not shows any user-
visible error dialog with error details when it fails so there is no
easy way to figure out what's happened.
