Bug Description
Binary package hint: linux-backports
After upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy, when I try to do anything in terminal, i get the error "unable to resolve host htpc" (htpc is the name of my computer). It usually does what I want it to do if i do sudo, but it seems to give me some trouble opening programs from the GUI, it won't open programs sometimes then I have to go into terminal and do sudo....[program]

After upgrade from Gutsy (x64) to Hardy, I also have exactly this problem.
I can see that my computers hostname is pointing on 127.0.1.1 in /etc/hosts.
I will try to modify this and se if it solves the problem.
