(I need to reboot) To change the hostname I need to sudo bash, then modify both /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts -- Changing hostname using "hostname" breaks sudo https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113778 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
