Not the most elegant solution but this will make sure that the hosts file is correct, even if you change your host name:
I made a simple little script that can generate the hosts file based on the current /etc/hostname, you could run this in your /etc/rc.local like so: /path/to/mkhosts.sh > /etc/hosts ** Attachment added: "mkhosts.sh - echo the correct hosts file contents (redirect it's output to /etc/hosts)" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/9848645/mkhosts.sh -- Missing hostname in /etc/hosts causes sudo to fail https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/19775 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
