sudo: unable to resolve host

sudo: unable to resolve host yourhostname

No clue why sudo is doing that when running.

Solution

 

Check /etc/hosts

You will probably find that it doesn't contain "yourhostname" for 127.0.0.1

Just update the hostname or add a field for your hostname like this:

127.0.0.1 yourhostname
