1.症状:
当你是使用sudo来执行命令时,总是在命令执行时,首先输出:“sudo:unable to resolve host Lily-desktop”(假设Lily-desktop 是你的当前主机的名字(host-name)), 但是怎样才能使使用sudo像以前一样不错误提示,正常工作呢。
when you’re running commands with sudo
at beginning.It outputs “sudo:unable to resolve host Lily-desktop”(here assume current host-name is Lily-desktop),however the commands work as well as before.
2.产生该症状的原因:
这种症状经常发生在更改了hostname的情形下。在通过 编辑 /etc/hostname 改变了主机名字(hostname)之后, 我们还需要改变 /etc/hosts文件的相应部分的内容
This always happens after host-name changed.After change host-name by edit /etc/hostname,we also need to do a change in /etc/hosts file.
3.解决方案:
Solve:
Edit /etc/hosts: // 编辑 /etc/hosts 文件
gksudo gedit /etc/hosts
make it looks like (change boldfaced words to current host-name): //使粗体字对应的词与当前的主机名即hostname 一致
127.0.0.1localhost
127.0.1.1Lily-desktop
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

You must have a host file problem. Please post this:
Prompt>sudo cat /etc/hosts
This is a correct /etc/hosts file entry:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 jason.laptop
# 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
Sometimes using the Network-Manager tool it will add a suffix to the localhost entry causing this.
Make your change to the host file and try again.
HTH,
i try to do that i got this
tonjaa@tonjaa-desktop:~$ sudo cat /etc/hosts
sudo: unable to resolve host tonjaa-desktop
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 tonjaa-desktop.domain.com
# 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
then how i can do for resolve ?
Try this. Use you favorite editor. VI or GEDIT and attempt to remove the:
.domain.com tail of this line:
Code:
127.0.1.1 tonjaa-desktop.domain.com
should be:
127.0.1.1 tonjaa-desktop
So to edit it:
sudo vi /etc/hosts
or
sudo gedit /etc/hosts
This should do it for you. Once you have edited the file. Save it and try again.
HTH,
Jaysunn
thank you very much i can edit it .
tonjaa@tonjaa-desktop:~$ sudo -s
root@tonjaa-desktop:~#
now it's ok.
