Domain issue causes unresolved host

[go0fman]

Hello, I've had a dual booting linux partition for a while and am fairly capable with it at this point. However, the most recent problem I'm encountering is very confusing to me. Whenever I try to use the sudo command in the terminal I get the message unable to resolve host, then my computer name. Here's some command line output with some files which I think may be causing the problem. Please help, I have Operating Systems homework and need sudo :(


steve@steve-laptop:~$ sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf
sudo: unable to resolve host steve-laptop
steve@steve-laptop:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by NetworkManager
domain domain_not_set.invalid

I'm running Lucid Lynx

What happens if you manually delete these from resolv.conf?


domain domain_not_set.invalid
search domain_not_set.invalid
