I can confirm this bug in Hardy-Gnome. If a domain is added to the hostname in /etc/hosts, sudo does not work any more. In Gutsy that did not matter; sudo still worked even if a domain name was added:
172.0.0.1 localhost [hostname].[domain] I think, the problem is not, how the domain name has been added. It is rather how /etc/hosts is parsed. A simple workaround to edit /etc/hosts without rebooting in recovery mode (as described above) is to open an administration terminal from the main menue. This is possible without any sudo command and does still work. -- [hardy] Manually Configuring Network Causes Massive, Unreversable, Failure https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185209 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
