Bug Description

Install Vagrant / Virtualbox

On Terminal run:

$> vagrant init

Edit the Vagrantfile to change the box name from "base" to "ubuntu/xenial64"

Then on the terminal again do:

$> vagrant up

After installing do:

$> vagrant ssh

$> sudo su

You will get a message stating: "sudo: unable to resolve host ubuntu-xenial"

The reason for this message is because the entry on /etc/hostname (which have "ubuntu-xenial") doesn't exist on /etc/hosts

To Fix:

Edit the /etc/hosts:

$> sudo vim /etc/hosts (for instance)

And on the entry:

127.0.0.1 localhost

Change to:

127.0.0.1 localhost ubuntu-xenial
