I had this same problem after upgrading Kubuntu 7.10 to 8.04 LTS (only minutes ago...) In my /etc/hosts it was 127.0.1.1 franz-laptop-new instead of 127.0.1.1 laptop-new I could not find any other solution but to boot in recovery mode and start as root, then edit /etc/hosts file. No way to become root otherwise. This is really a nasty bug, specially for non experienced users! I reccomend giving it high priority. -- unable to resolve host https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/195308 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
