Public bug reported: Description: Ubuntu 16.10 Release: 16.10
I sudo apt install bind9 I did no touching or editing of any bind9 files. I left /etc/network/interfaces alone. In Gnome Network Manager I have a wired Ethernet connection set to a static manual setup. I had 192.168.0.1 for my DNS. I changed it to 127.0.0.1 and rebooted the computer. Upon the fresh login, Firefox failed to load any web sites due to DNS not working. I then set the DNS to 127.0.1.1 and again rebooted. Firefox and other programs like NTP failed DNS lookup. I then set the DNS to 192.168.0.1 and DNS started working again. sudo apt install bind9 should install a working caching server and setting Gnome Network Manager to 127.0.0.1 should produce a working DNS system. This worked perfectly on Ubuntu 15.10. I installed bind9 after having not used it until 16.10 and found that the plug and play, it just works bind9 no longer worked. The following log entries are the only ones available. Mar 22 18:24:42 frontier systemd-resolved[1588]: Using degraded feature set (UDP) for DNS server 127.0.1.1. Mar 22 18:24:48 frontier systemd-resolved[1588]: Using degraded feature set (TCP) for DNS server 127.0.1.1. Bind9 config files are default and untouched.
