When I try to use sudo in the terminal, it gives an error message saying "sudo: unable to resolve host shaakunthala-laptop"
shaakunthala-laptop is the computer name.
But the problem does not arise when the computer is connect to the network.


Can anybody tell me how to fix this problem?


Thank you!

When you click on the terminal, what is written on the screen?

Mine is: wadesmart@wadesmart:~$

Does shaakunthala-laptop exist in your /etc/hosts file? It should point at 127.0.0.1

Thank you for* your replies...

Sorry, I forgot to tell how the initial terminal prompt goes,
shaakunthala@shaakunthala-laptop:~$

Avi Greenbury's solution worked -- thanks Avi
in this file, it was somehow shaakunthala-laptop.mshome.net pointed to 127.0.0.1

that's because i connect this laptop to a Windows network
Thank you very much... !
Now I have to do is to log in as root (recovery mode) and vi /etc/hosts

If you're trying to set it up on a laptop you actually need to do it on a desktop computer with ubuntu installed

Hi

in a script I want to set a value by "echo 1024 >
/proc/sys/dev/hpet/max-user-freq".
This is fine when I manually run "sudo -i", followed by writing the
value, but not if I try to do it in one line, resp. in a script.


spinymouse-sudo@64studio:~/Desktop$ cat /proc/sys/dev/hpet/max-user-freq
64
spinymouse-sudo@64studio:~/Desktop$ sudo echo 1024 >
/proc/sys/dev/hpet/max-user-freq

bash: /proc/sys/dev/hpet/max-user-freq: Permission denied
spinymouse-sudo@64studio:~/Desktop$ sudo -i echo 1024 >
/proc/sys/dev/hpet/max-user-freq

bash: /proc/sys/dev/hpet/max-user-freq: Permission denied
spinymouse-sudo@64studio:~/Desktop$ sudo -i
root@64studio:~# echo 1024 > /proc/sys/dev/hpet/max-user-freq
root@64studio:~# logout
spinymouse-sudo@64studio:~/Desktop$ cat /proc/sys/dev/hpet/max-user-freq
1024

Any hints are welcome!

Cheers,
Ralf

Put the script in root's crontab. sudo is designed as an interactive
utility. The script should be run by a user with sufficient privileges
to do what it needs to do. You can use sudo to run the script, but it
should not be within the script.
