Fix sudo issues

    If you see the following error in your terminal it could be related to a previous bug in the Host Minder app.

    sudo: unable to resolve host _hostname_: Name or service not known


    How to fix:

    Disable Host Minder if it is currently enabled.

    Be sure your packages are updated by running the following command.

    sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

    Run the following command to ensure that your machine's hostname is listed in the /etc/hosts file.

    sed -i "/^127.0.0.1\ localhost$/ s/$/\ $(hostname)/" /etc/hosts

    Now you can re-enable Host Minder and choose the preferred Protection Level.
