I found a workaround - ugly, but it works. I installed dnsmaq, which is a dnscache and then I configured dnsmasq with my dns servers (in fact I use OpenDNS) like this
# Add other name servers here, with domain specs if they are for # non-public domains. #server=/localnet/192.168.0.1 server=208.67.222.222 server=208.67.220.220 Then I'm able to do DNS lookups even though NetworkManager empties my /etc/resolv.conf. -- VPN connection should alter /etc/resolv.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/37239 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
