I get some "interresting" behaviour, when I do hostname and hostname -f: hostname: "myHostName" hostname -f: "hostname: Unknown host"
In my /etc/hosts I have: "127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 myHostName.localdomain.xx # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters ff02::3 ip6-allhosts" It seems the system is not able to resolve the short hostname myHostName (a ping shows this behaviour too). Adding myHostName to either the 127.0.0.1 or the 127.0.1.1 line makes it possible to resolve the hostname. -- [feisty] Slow gnome application startup due to /etc/hosts misconfiguration https://launchpad.net/bugs/94048 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
