If you change something in resolvconf's database then don't restart resolvconf; just do "sudo resolvconf -u". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1083111 Title: network-manager doesn't configure DNS properly and name resolution fails Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: My network is configured in such a way that I can only exit through a HTTP proxy and the this it is set with proxy.pac so for getting the proxy configuration I also need the DNS to work... When using dnsmasq for DNS, dnsmasq is getting started by network- manager, /etc/resolv.conf is pointing to localhost, but dnsmasq is unable to resolv any DNS names. In my network dnsmasq should not try to connect directly to the DNS root servers(which it looks like it does), but it should just use the DNS servers I get through DHCP. But there is nothing telling it to use them, since both /var/run/nm-dns- dnsmasq.conf and /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d (which dnsmasq is set to use when started by network-manager) are empty. -when not using dnsmasq for DNS in network-manager, I get the right DNS servers set inside /run/resolvconf/interface/NetworkManager, but resolvconf just won't use them, since it keeps getting localhost from /run/resolvconf/interface/lo.dnsmasq. The problem goes away after removing this file and restarting resolvconf. I think the problem can be worked around in two ways: -if using dnsmasq, network-manager should configure the reachable name servers in /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d -if using just resolvconf, /run/resolvconf/interface/lo.dnsmasq should not be created. Ubuntu version: 12.10 network-manager version: 0.9.6.0-0ubuntu7 expected results: DNS resolution should work current status: DNS resolution does not work unless I do a workaround each time I connect to the network To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1083111/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
