Public bug reported: /usr/bin/synce-serial-start calls "iptables -L" twice (via "$IPTABLES -L") and that means that iptables will try to dns-resolve the ip addresses in the list. In my system (and probably many others) this backresolve of IP addresses (many of which are typically private internet addresses) "hangs" with huge timeouts. This causes synce- serial-start to "hang" and fail.
The solution is simple: Add "-n" to both iptables calls. ** Affects: synce-serial (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Calls iptables without "-n", hangs resolving https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/109481 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
