Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu so if your gonna be using Linux mint 12 RC it has the same problems.. I have tried that distro on my computer as well.. Mint was my first linux experince and I have loved Linux since.. but if you go with Linux mint 12 it is based on Ubuntu 11.10 :)

After the update I cannot resolve hostnames reliably: I use Konsole in Unity. There sometimes the DNS resolving works fine and suddenly after two commands or so it fails for the same address. E.g. I ping a machine without DNS-Suffix (the suffix is shown in my network config correctly aside 3 valid nameserver IPs) and everything works fine. Then I try to log into the machine with the same address via ssh and I get a "Name or service not known". Trying again, it works with a fully qualified name containing the suffix. I also had cases, when the IP wasn't resolved although I put in the fully qualified name. When I am more lucky, it starts working again with machine names only (without suffix, which is configured and worked perfectly up to now) Is there probably a bug in the new Ubuntu Version? --- ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 IfupdownConfig: auto lo iface lo inet loopback InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) IpRoute: default via 192.168.1.1 dev wlan0 proto static 169.254.0.0/16 dev wlan0 scope link metric 1000 192.168.1.0/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.2 metric 2 NetworkManager.state: [main] NetworkingEnabled=true WirelessEnabled=true WWANEnabled=true WimaxEnabled=true NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: network-manager 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu4 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-24.38-generic 3.2.16 RfKill: 0: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no Tags: precise Uname: Linux 3.2.0-24-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm cdrom dip lpadmin netdev plugdev sambashare sudo mtime.conffile..etc.NetworkManager.NetworkManager.conf: 2012-05-09T05:01:02.241358 nmcli-con: NAME UUID TYPE TIMESTAMP TIMESTAMP-REAL AUTOCONNECT READONLY DBUS-PATH Wired connection 1 a76f352c-6e8c-49c7-bc05-b890445abb22 802-3-ethernet 1336943434 Sun 13 May 2012 05:10:34 PM EDT yes no /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Settings/1 Ladner Computer Repair L.N.A 47560d22-54ec-491b-b90f-a41535d69f00 802-11-wireless 1337213171 Wed 16 May 2012 08:06:11 PM EDT yes no /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Settings/0 nmcli-dev: DEVICE TYPE STATE DBUS-PATH wlan0 802-11-wireless connected /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/1 eth0 802-3-ethernet unavailable /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/0 nmcli-nm: RUNNING VERSION STATE NET-ENABLED WIFI-HARDWARE WIFI WWAN-HARDWARE WWAN running 0.9.4.0 connected enabled enabled enabled enabled disabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/989900/+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
