sudo command execution slown down on Ubuntu 22.04

Question

The sudo command execution was working fine until a few days ago, and it started working slow. When I run a sudo command in the terminal, it does not work faster. It takes a break of a few seconds to ask for the password.

If the password is already entered in the terminal, executing the command will take a bit of a delay. How do I make it faster? I am not getting a reason why it slows down. My disk space where ubuntu is installed is 45GB free.

Update

My hostname is already there in the said file

@FarhadKia Thanks. I just updated it. I don't know much about it why it was changed. I have changed it as you said — JAMSHAID, Nov 01 '22 at 14:35

The problem is occurring because your hostname is not in your /etc/hosts file.

Type

hostname

in your terminal. That will tell you what your hostname is.

Next, type:

sudo nano /etc/hosts

and add:

127.0.0.1 yourhostname

then save - and you are done! Sudo should be fast now!

thanks to this answer
