[ubuntu-users] Warning -- Bug

[Ted Hilts - Thunderbird Acct.]

I first noticed this problem affecting the math packages called Maxima, 
xmaxima, and wxmaxim when doing an upgrade on 7.10 and then an upgrate 
of 8.4.  The upgrades cause the lines in /etc/hosts:
###127.0.0.1 localhost
###127.0.1.1 Ubuntu.peggyted
to be commented out as shown above.

The line "127.0.0.1 localhost" is critical for the operation of xmaxima 
as well as wxmaxima and without this line they don't work giving the 
error that they cannot connect and/or cannot obtain a socket.  I don't 
know how other packages would be affected. I manually set up my static 
addresses thus  "touching" the file /etc/hosts which may cause an 
automatic upgrade process a problem.

Also: I now get the following error as a result of the upgrade:

ted at Ubuntu:~$ sudo smbclient -L Ubuntu -U ted -W peggyted
Password:
Server requested plaintext password but 'client use plaintext auth' is 
disabled
session setup failed: SUCCESS - 14336
ted at Ubuntu:~$

Whereas the following works for the other machines:

ted at Ubuntu:~$ sudo smbclient -L Ubuntu -U ted -W peggyted
params.c:Parameter() - Ignoring badly formed line in configuration file: 
allow hosts
Password:
Server requested plaintext password but 'client use plaintext auth' is 
disabled
