This bug concerns the caching or not of dnsmasq. We may want to consider enabling/disabling dnsmasq along with it in a more user-friendly way, but for now editing the configuration file works, because this works well out of the box for the vast majority of people.
This bug is still open -- I'm keeping it open because toggling caching (and enabling it in the OS, really) *is* something we want to track, but couldn't possibly do for Precise. -- 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/940417 Title: No setting exists to enable/disable DNS cache in System Settings-->Network Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Precise is now using DNSmasq for DNS cache. But no setting is apparent for disabling this DNS cache for users who do not want a DNS cache. The UbuntuBrainstorm asking for this feature said that users should be able to turn on/off the cache: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/28926/ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/940417/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
