Relevant information: The following occurred immediately after
upgrading my Ubuntu 7.10 to Ubuntu 8.04, both Desktop-i386 versions. I
am running a DELL Optiplex GX270, with a 2.8 GHz Dual core Pentium-4,
3/4 of a Gig of RAM, and a 40Gb hard disk. The system had been
performing flawlessly, ever since I replaced Windows XP with Ubuntu
7.10, six months or so ago.
Item A: 1) I went to the menu, System/Administration, and clicked on
"Synaptic Package Manager". 2) I expected the result I have always
gotten, which is, a brief pause, followed by the Synaptic Package
Manager window opening. 3) The result I got... the cursor changed to
the little whirly thing for a second or two, then returned to its normal
appearance. The window did not open. Repeated tries resulted in the
same scenario. Therefore, no access to Synaptic through the menu.
Item B: 1) I entered the following at the prompt in a terminal window:
CODE:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) I expected, as has always happened in the past, to be asked for my password
and, after supplying it, for a "gedit" window to open on the
/boot/grub/menu.lst file.
3) What I got instead was the following:
QUOTE:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
sudo: unable to resolve host Casi
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ _

Hope this helps. I have ADD and tend to be a bit wordy. Sorry.
