Long story short: Doing a gutsy->hardy upgrade on a laptop using the do-release-upgrade command that worked so well on other machines. Power went out. Battery was charged. Packages had been downloaded. Installation continued. But... When I picked up the laptop to move it, the battery fell out. Never mind that I can never get this battery out when I need to. This critical time, it just fell out. re-running do-release-upgrade didn't work because it thought it was already upgraded to hardy. aptitude dist-upgrade failed, suggesting dpkg --configure -a. This worked until it got to kde-theme-somethingorother. aptitude install kde-theme-somethingorother wanted to remove about 22 packages. I listed them and let it. Then ran an aptitude dist-upgrade. Everything looks fine, except one thing. Whenever I try to run anything as sudo it hestiates, then reports sudo: unable to resolve host <localhostname> /etc/hostname is correct the networkmanager seems to have the host correctly. What would I edit to fix this? Attachment:
