Are you using the Desktop (GUI) version of Ubuntu, or the Server (CLI) version?
If you’re using the Desktop edition, you can open a command prompt and type: sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf If you’re using the Server edition, you’ll need to use a command line editor like nano. In that case: sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf After you edit and save the file, you might need to restart networking for FOG to resolve the hostnames. To do that, either restart the server, or, from a command prompt, type: sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart Hope that helps, Aaron From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Scott Siri Sent: Tuesday, August 10, 2010 10:33 AM To: Tech-Geeks Mailing List Subject: Re: [tech-geeks] FOG - Unable to resolve hostname Thanks for the advice! I'm obviously a linux newbie... I found the file, but need help opening it. Looks like "root" owns it and I can't edit it (read only for administrator). The root login is locked correct? So how do I edit the file? Thanks, Scott On Tue, Aug 10, 2010 at 7:21 AM, Aaron Kurtz <[email protected]> wrote: That’s not really an issue, you should still be able to use FOG without issues. If you want to fix this problem though, try editing /etc/resolv.conf (assuming you’re using Ubuntu). At the end of the resolv.conf file (after the nameserver entries), add the following (substituting your actual domain name—fully qualified): search yourdomain.name Save the file, then your FOG server should be able to resolve the hostnames.

"Unable to resolve hostname" I think I have AD setup properly now...does the FOG server need rebooted? Should I be worried... and what am I doing wrong?
