Public bug reported: On Ubuntu 8.04 (hardy) desktop I could add and remove programs with the gnome app. Then opened system>adminstration(nl:"beheer")>network and added a host for my ubuntu old server pc, because hardy didn't recognize his hostname by default (why not?). add and remove programs still worked after that I believe Then I decided to change my domain name, to that of my ISP. And then add and remove programs always hangs during installing new programs when it should be asking me to type in my root password. apt-get still worked, though I did get an error once about unresolved host or something
I had to kill the install/remove program program several times. Once I removed my ISP's domain name again in network config, it started working properly again. Though this is probably caused by a bug or bugs like: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-system-tools/+bug/72341 setting domain name changes localhost alias only for the first time That doesn't matter: if something goes wrong there, install/remove programs should report that there's a problem (and what problem that is) instead of just hanging. ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Install/remove programs always hangs after changing network domain name (hardy) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238312 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
