Just installed 8.04 over 7.10 using the gnome package updater. Generally looks good but appears to be a problem with administration access. If I try to use a sudo command in terminal, I get this:
dad@daddad-desktop:~$ sudo
sudo: unable to resolve host daddad-desktop
dad@daddad-desktop:~$
Also:
- package updater appears to hang when I check for updates
- can't look at hardware drivers under Administration ("Administrative
Process" button opens on status bar but then dies)
- can't open either Envy or nvidia GUI toolbox.
Any help on what happened here? Feels like system is refusing administrator access.
Thanks.
