HP Mini 1000 sudo fails after update
sudo fails to run any command.
Two questions
1) Is there a root password in the default install
2) How do I stop it booting at grub to enter single usermode. Do I need the root password?
Many Thanks Derek

Re: HP Mini 1000 sudo fails after update
Normally I would press esc to get to grub , but the HP Mini boots in quiet mode
So if I can get to the grub menu , I can hopefully fix this.
By the way sudo is not working as on of the updates has changes the hostname back to the default from the custom hostname I set , sudo can no longer resolve the hostname

Re: HP Mini 1000 sudo fails after update
Alternatively, as a last resort, you can always download a minimal minimal livecd, put it on a pendrive and fix the hosts file after booting from there.

Re: HP Mini 1000 sudo fails after update
you could try to set 'timeout' to more than zero in /boot/grub/menu.lst
Please report back if it helped.
