I've been using Hardy since before release, and have been enjoying update after update with no problems.
Now, however, update manager seems to do nothing after I tell it to install updates, stuck right after the phase I click 'Install'.
I have to manually kill the process. What can I do?
EDIT: Synaptic doesn't start either
EDIT2: Something's wrong with Sudo too:
DocHoliday@laptop:~$ sudo
sudo: unable to resolve host laptop
FIXED: Some more googling found the solution.
Here's how to fix:
HOW TO
1.) Start Terminal
2.) Enter "sudo gedit /etc/hosts" - ignore the sudo error and enter password
3.) When in gedit, find the second line:
127.0.1.1 [name of your computer].[name of your workgroup/domain]
Simply delete the .workgroup (that is, everything that's red in the example above) and save. Exit out of gedit.
Fixed.
