Ubuntu's ongoing effort to remove "stability" from the list of reasons to run an LTS continues, and we're back at a different version of #1297, in that OpenAFS modules won't build on the raring-lts-whatever kernels.

This probably happens because hostname -i will be 127.0.1.1 in the former case, but 18.142.4.128 in the latter case. So this is another manefestation of the known problem with 127.0.1.1.

Thanks for the information; we really need to solve the problem though; do we do that by making sure all hosts on those lines are fully qualified?

To be clear, the problem is not that there is a non-fully-qualified hostname in /etc/hosts. The problem is that because your kernel’s hostname is zippy, which is resolved by /etc/hosts to 127.0.1.1, license managers that have a client-side ACL of IP addresses (like 18.*) get confused.

If, as you did, you take zippy out of /etc/hosts (leaving only zippy.mit.edu), then zippy is resolved by DNS to 18.142.4.128 using the search path and servers in /etc/resolv.conf, and the license manager presumably becomes less confused.

A better client-side workaround is to put the right IP address in /etc/hosts:

18.142.4.128 zippy zippy.mit.edu

which is what I think the Ubuntu installer does if you configure it with a static IP address at install time. (For the cluster machines, we currently don’t.)

We are currently discussing possible solutions on zephyr.

I printed my bio pset twice from evince with 2-up printing selected in the second tab, and using "Print to LPR" with lpr -Zduplex as the command, and I got it 1-up both times.

I've gotten this to work before, but I think I used either Adobe Reader or CUPS.
