Yes. Modifying the hosts file was necessary on all my hardy systems (either upgraded or fresh install) due to failing to find localhost. So it may resolve _this_ bug for others. However, it does not resolve the issue with not being able to authenticate, in the repeatable case I mentioned (fails to authenticate when attempting to set the clock). Apologies for mixing bugs, but as an added note; I've found another bug that actually matched the symptoms I am seeing with update-manager which may, may not be related: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gksu/+bug/187982 [update-manager fails to bring up the password prompt for root privileges] In that case, the workaround provided in: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gksu/+bug/187982/comments/19 works. And it appears that there are multiple authentication issues. -- [users-admin] Unlock -> "Could not authenticate.
