Thanks Joel. Your solution worked perfectly for me. I was seeing the hang on update manager as well as a prompt when executing a command in the terminal saying "Could not resolve host *******".
I think this occurred because after installation and the initial configuration I added the domain name to Ubuntu in the network setup program on the General tab. That change didn't get added to the hosts file. -- Update manager hangs when localhost can not be resolved https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/234879 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
