i had the problem today (hardy 8.04 32 bit install), with all the updates installed... so i believe there is still some problem
however I fixed it by using gksu gedit /etc/hosts and just adding the hostname in front of 127.0.0.1 (as mentioned earler) is there a way that any configuration dump will help. the please mention it don't ask for hosts file, i believe that is not the problem. The problem occurred because i overwritten my /etc/hosts with someone else's hosts file (don't ask why!), so as i said the hosts file is just fine. -- sudo fails if it cannot resolve the local hostname and no MTA is installed 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
