As I said, during the install, it recommended my machine name to be "rick-laptop". I decided to change it (during the install) to "dapper-local". However, when I first logged in, I could not access anying that required gksu.
To be honest, I cannot remember how I changed it back to "dapper-local". I thought I did it in the /etc/aliases file. To the best of my recollection, it still showed "rick-laptop", and I changed it to "dapper-local". I could be wrong about that though. Perhaps I changed the Hostname in Networking Settings to "dapper-local". In any event, whatever I did fixed the problem. If you like, I can go to VMWare and do another fresh install, and try to duplicate the problem (I don't want to hose my real box). - Rick On 23/07/06, Lionel Porcheron <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > What do you mean by "aliases do not get updated" ? > > How did you change your machine name ? > > ** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu) > Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info > > -- > machine name > https://launchpad.net/bugs/52784 > -- Richard G.
