I had the same problem.
It's happen because of the hostname (the name given to the computer) has a 
character which is not admitted (for example "_" like "computer_mine")
To know your hostname, open a teminal (applications / accessoires / teminal). 
Your hostname appears after you username@.
Your can ask for it by typing in the terminal the command : hostname
To change it :
I fail to change it by using the command : sudo hostname newname
I change this name in 2 files by using the next command in the terminal :
1 : gksudo gedit /etc/hostname
You have to type your password
The file opens. Change your hostname. Save and close the file.
2 : gksudo gedit /etc/hosts
Same process

Restart your computer
