In reply to #58, sorry, defining multiple except-interface= directives works fine in my 2.59-4 after all, I think I might have used "except- interfaces", plural.
Solution #2 sounds good to me too. :) If I understand well, a dnsmasq-base SRU is in order for 12.04 anyway to fix the tftp issue, so why not fix it in quantal and backport 2.62-3 to 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/959037 Title: NM-controlled dnsmasq prevents other DNS servers from running, yet network-manager doesn't Conflict with their packages Status in “djbdns” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “dnsmasq” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: As described in https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-p-dns- resolving, network manager now starts a dnsmasq instance for local DNS resolving. That breaks the default bind9 and dnsmasq installations, for people that actually want to install a DNS server. Having to manually comment out "#dns=dnsmasq" in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf doesn't sound good, and if it stays that way, it should be moved to the bind9 and dnsmasq postinst scripts. Please make network-manager smarter so that it checks if bind9 or dnsmasq are installed, so that it doesn't start the local resolver in that case.
