There's other probably far simpler (and safer) workarounds. What's your configuration for the dnsmasq like?
Upstream mentions some configurations at the dnsmasq level that are very relevant for this particular case: in /etc/dnsmasq.conf: #except-interface= # Or which to listen on by address (remember to include 127.0.0.1 if # you use this.) #listen-address= The problem is that listen-address probably shouldn't contain 127.0.0.1 if dnsmasq is meant to be used to resolve things for ltsp clients; also, except-interface=lo may be a good idea here to avoid listening on the loopback interface. That way both instances should start fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/959037 Title: Don't start local resolver if a DNS server is installed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/959037/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
