@Leroy: The thing about composing e-mail in Evolution is, as far as I can see, completely unrelated--try looking at other bug reports or forum posts to see if anyone else has experienced that.
Anything that would normally use gksudo--including the upgrade manager and synaptic being launched the normal way, will not work. You should still be able to run any of them (as a work-around) by using a command line and doing "sudo whatever", e.g. "sudo synaptic", "sudo update- manager". "apt-get update", like any command that affects the system for all users, will need "sudo" before it. If "sudo apt-get update" isn't working, then that would be another problem... -- race condition when sudo can not resolve hostname https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/237325 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
