    No admin programs work.

    Trying to install anything in terminal I get this.

    sudo: unable to resolve host ux9a
    what does that mean?

    I have no access to add/remove programs.

    Ubuntu 8.04

    Post the output of the terminal command below:

    Code:
    cat /etc/hosts

    Unable to resolve host is generally a DNS issue ... often temporary. It means that you couldn't resolve the URL to an IP Address.

    An internet issue shouldnt have anything to do with why software sources, add/remove progams, wont even load.

    heres what cat /ect/hosts did

    127.0.0.1 localhost
    127.0.1.1 ux9a.theplace

    # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
    ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
    fe00::0 ip6-localnet
    ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
    ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
    ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
    ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

    Edit your /etc/hosts file:

    Code:
    gksu gedit /etc/hosts
    and replace the string 127.0.1.1 ux9a.theplace with 127.0.1.1 ux9a

    Save and Close.

    Code:
    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
