Public bug reported:
After upgrading from 7.10 to 8.04, I cannot access Synaptic from the
menu, and I cannot execute any "sudo" anything from a terminal window.
I get the message "sudo: unable to resolve host Casi". Casi is, and has
always been this computer's name. I had to log in as root, in order to
change my /boot/grub/menu.lst file, so I could see the messages
generated at boot-up. They went by too fast to read, but one that
mentioned starting some service had a big red "[FAILED]" following it.
This is ugly; this is the fourth, major, show stopping bug I have
encountered in the hour since I did the upgrade. I'll wait till
tomorrow, (and use my Windows machine (ugh)) to scan the forums, and
check for updates and fixes, but if it doesn't look very rosy tomorrow
morning, I'm going to roll back to the backuped version of 7.10, which
was running flawlessly, before the upgrade. Please fix these problems
SOON, or I'm going to end up with egg on my face, in front of my friends
who are [still] staunch supporters of Windows. I don't want to have to
admit to them that I wasted a day and a half upgrading, and then rolling
back a Linux installation.
