I think failing intermittently is the problem rather than the one in bug #1003842
Having disabled dnsmasq my networking is now reliable, rather than being intermittent. Sometimes public names would resolve and sometimes they wouldn't. -- 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/1086693 Title: Please don't enable the NetworkManager-controlled dnsmasq by default Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In Ubuntu's default configuration, NetworkManager spawns a copy of dnsmasq, which breaks DNS lookups for me. It has done this since Ubuntu 12.04, when this was made the default. I've just been following the workaround that has worked for other people of disabling dnsmasq in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf. There have been multiple bug reports about the various problems of this configuration, but it remains the default configuration in 12.10, and breaks my DNS lookups there, as well. Someone mentioned I should file a bug. So, why not? It'll just be ignored like they always are, but fine. You got it!
