> My /etc/hosts file did not have an entry for my hostname "myhost"; there was ONLY an entry for "myhost.mydomain.com".
If gnome-system-tools does this then it has a bug. (I don't dare install or run the GNOME network configurator on my machine. In the past it would utterly botch Debian/Ubuntu configuration files. Perhaps things have improved in recent years.) The entry for myhost in /etc/hosts (where "myhost" is the system hostname, i.e., the content of /etc/hostname and the output of the "hostname" command) should be: <IP address> myhost.mydomain.com myhost or <IP address> myhost if the machine doesn't have a permanent FQDN. The IP address should be the machine's permanent IP address if it has one and 127.0.1.1 if it does not. -- [Hardy] network-admin settings to DHCP do not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214360 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
