Comment 11 for bug 237662

The terminal freezes after "gksudo synaptic."

I think I know how I created the problem. I started with Ubuntu with 7.04. I put it in an old PIII and was impressed, so I purchased a new motherboard, P5K, and the rest of the stuff, and built a new computer. I worked at obtaining a dual boot system, but was unsuccessful. However, since the BIOS on this new system allowed me to indicate which one of two physically installed hard drives is recognized by the BIOS, I installed Ubuntu on one and Windows Vista on the other. When I wanted to change OS, I had to go to the BIOS -- clumsy, but it worked. Then, I bought a new printer and plugged it into this machine. I was able to access this printer from either a windows machine or another Ubuntu machine when Ubuntu was the OS running. However it didn't work when Vista was running. So i decided to change the name of the new machine to P5KU when Ubuntu was running and leave the name P5K when Vista was running. Then this problem occurred and I never got back to working with sharing the printer. Apparently, I didn't get the name completely changed.
