@nivlac: yes, not sure why I added that.
Anyway bug has been fixed now it seems, dnsmasq is now getting correctly restarted. $ pidof dnsmasq 16166 1693 1692 $ systemctl restart NetworkManager $ pidof dnsmasq 16966 1693 1692 (1692/3 are libvirt, so not restarted) -- 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/1562111 Title: network-manager no longer restarts dnsmasq Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: restarting Network Manager does not have any effect on it's child dnsmasq (nor does stopping and starting) ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ pidof dnsmasq 2355 ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ pidof dnsmasq 2355 This problem started in 15.10 and still exists in 16.04 beta2 - it works as expected in 14.04. The upshot is you cannot load any extra dnsmasq configuration set in the conf dir /etc/NetworkManager/dnsmasq.d/ because dnsmasq doesn't get restarted. (As a related issue dnsmasq is also running as 'nobody' and I don't think it should, Bug #1105493) ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: network-manager 1.0.4-0ubuntu10 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-15.31-generic 4.4.6 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-15-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Fri Mar 25 18:13:33 2016 IfupdownConfig: # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) auto lo iface lo inet loopback IpRoute: default via 192.168.0.1 dev wlp4s0 proto static metric 600 169.254.0.0/16 dev wlp4s0 scope link metric 1000 192.168.0.0/24 dev wlp4s0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.0.107 metric 600 NetworkManager.state: [main] NetworkingEnabled=true WirelessEnabled=true WWANEnabled=true WimaxEnabled=true ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm-256color PATH=(custom, no user) XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=<set> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: network-manager UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) nmcli-con: NAME UUID TYPE TIMESTAMP TIMESTAMP-REAL AUTOCONNECT AUTOCONNECT-PRIORITY READONLY DBUS-PATH ACTIVE DEVICE STATE ACTIVE-PATH Wired connection 1 53d8bcbd-4047-4705-904a-60eef9d821c1 802-3-ethernet 1458929440 Fri 25 Mar 2016 06:10:40 PM UTC yes 0 no /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Settings/1 no -- -- -- Mosquito a88863fb-196e-4000-8103-880e0698d514 802-11-wireless 1458929448 Fri 25 Mar 2016 06:10:48 PM UTC yes 0 no /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Settings/0 yes wlp4s0 activated /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/0 nmcli-dev: DEVICE TYPE STATE DBUS-PATH CONNECTION CON-UUID CON-PATH wlp4s0 wifi connected /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/1 Mosquito a88863fb-196e-4000-8103-880e0698d514 /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/ActiveConnection/0 enp0s25 ethernet unavailable /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/2 -- -- -- lo loopback unmanaged /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager/Devices/0 -- -- -- nmcli-nm: Error: command ['nmcli', '-f', 'all', 'nm'] failed with exit code 2: Error: Object 'nm' is unknown, try 'nmcli help'.
