sudo is very unhappy if it cannot resolve the system hostname. The fix
is to make sure /etc/hosts has an entry for the hostname. In your case
the top of the file should look like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.1.1 WS24
Now, editing /etc/hosts is difficult if sudo doesn't work for you.
use gksudo gedit /etc/hosts
this should give you a provide you with dialog to authenticate and then the
page to edit.
cheers!
