Your "sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu" error has to do with your hostname, I believe.
Try doing this:
Code:
ubuntu@ubuntu:/$ cat /etc/hostname
ubuntu@ubuntu:/$ sudo hostname ##### whatever the second entry for 127.0.0.1 is
In other words, your host name is currently set to "ubuntu", but /etc/hosts is expecting a different name. My computer has the following entries:
Code:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 scylla
So I'd do:
Code:
ubuntu@ubuntu:/$ sudo hostname scylla
Then check whether you're connected to the internet:
Code:
ubuntu@ubuntu:/$ ping -c 3 google.com
Thank you Bribera. I did everything all over again (the more times, the better). Indeed, root@ubuntu had ubuntu as hostname, while /etc/hosts had something else (x). I run sudo hostname x but internet is not working.
sudo /etc/init.d/networking start similarly doesn't help.
At this point I have to say that I have commented out the /etc/fstab line where the /home was mounted. Consequently:
Code:
root@ubuntu:/# mount -a
root@ubuntu:/# mount -l
/dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)
tmpfs on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)
proc on /proc type proc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
varrun on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)
varlock on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,mode=1777)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=620)
binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
Code:
/etc/init.d/gdm start
has equally no effect.
