I've reproduced this bug on a completely fresh installation of Ubuntu 16.10
Steps: 1) Install these packages: sudo apt install network-manager-openvpn-gnome network-manager-vpnc-gnome 2) Create an openVPN or cisco-vpnc VPN-Connection and input the additional search domains of the network you are connecting to here: http://neartalk.com/ss/2016-10-16_001_601x625.png 3) Connect to the VPN 4) Try to find the Additional search domains you've configured in the VPN: nmcli dev show | grep DOMAIN (you won't find them) In Ubuntu 16.04, "nmcli dev show" would show the additional search domains specified in the VPN configuration. In 16.10, they do not show up and additional search domains do not work. -- 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/1633877 Title: VPN - "Additional Search Domains" Settings are being Ignored Status in Network Manager Applet: New Status in NetworkManager-OpenVPN: New Status in network-manager-vpnc: New Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: During configuring of a VPN, Network Manager normally allows you to specify "additional Search Domains" that are located on the virtual private network: http://neartalk.com/ss/2016-10-16_001_601x625.png However, in Ubuntu 16.10 the network manager is ignoring the "additional Search Domains" that I've specified at the dialog I've linked above. Normally, after connecting to a VPN (where additional Search Domains are specified), the command (below) will show (in addition to your local Search Domains) the remote Search Domains (located on the VPN): nmcli dev show | grep DOMAIN Unfortunately, in Ubuntu 16.10, this is not working. Consequently, I cannot resolve remote computers by their computer-name because the "Search Domains" I've specified are not getting appended to the computer-names I'm pinging. I've confirm this issue on both OpenVPN and Cisco vpnc connections. The additional Search Domains are not making it here: nmcli dev show | grep DOMAIN ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.10 Package: network-manager 1.2.4-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.8.0-22.24-generic 4.8.0 Uname: Linux 4.8.0-22-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.3-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Sun Oct 16 10:16:04 2016 IfupdownConfig: # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) auto lo iface lo inet loopback InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-10-13 (2 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.10 "Yakkety Yak" - Release amd64 (20161012.2) NetworkManager.state: [main] NetworkingEnabled=true WirelessEnabled=true WWANEnabled=true SourcePackage: network-manager UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) nmcli-nm: RUNNING VERSION STATE STARTUP CONNECTIVITY NETWORKING WIFI-HW WIFI WWAN-HW WWAN running 1.2.4 connected started full enabled disabled disabled enabled enabled To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/network-manager-applet/+bug/1633877/+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
