Only the different steps are necessary. I think I successfuly managed to reproduce your problem tonight. I change the name of a machine (edit /etc/hostname). When I tried to sudo, I have: $ sudo -s sudo: unable to lookup palombe via gethostbyname()
Did you get the same ? In that case, you have to change /etc/hosts to add your new name. -- machine name https://launchpad.net/bugs/52784 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
