It's noteworthy, I think, that running sudo also gives "sudo: unable to resolve host P5KU." It's definitely related to the network name, just that where sudo manages to carry on, gksudo hangs completely.
I've changed the summary line to be more accurate now that we know more. ** Summary changed: - Update 2.6.24.18.20 fails + gksudo does not work after changing computer name ** Description changed: Update Version 2.6.24.18.20 fails to install on Ububntu 8.04 LTS AMD64. The CPU Is an Intel Core2. After clicking on the update icon, the list of updates appears, but when I click on install, the small ball rotates indefinitely. I have tried rebooting, and removing some of the checked updates and get the same result. When I boot the Update Manager while disconnected from the internet, the list of updates appear, and the incessantly rotating ball appears just as it does when I am connected when I click on install. The only way to get rid of the rotating ball is to reboot. But the update icon appears almost immediately. When I click on install, the whole process begins again. If, after reboot, i click on install, all other programs seem to work correctly but the system slows down. However, if I ignore this beckoning icon, the system seems to function normally. + + EDITED (TAK, 9th June '08) to make summary more helpful. -- gksudo does not work after changing computer name https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237662 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
