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
