Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 1654918] Re: No Internet access with default of Automatic (DHCP)

I'm sorry @hrvooje - it worked for me. But I have now risked upgrading my main laptop from 16.10 to 17.04 and it appears to be working perfectly without the necessity for tweaks or workaronds or alternative of 8.8.8.8 , etc, etc. I guess the latest in-situ upgrade contained its own bugfix. David

OK - complete solution/workaround is to be found here... But you must read the whole lot before doing anything at all because the last edit makes the first part redundant... http://www.hecticgeek.com/2017/04/ubuntu-17-04-systemd-dns-issues/ The issue involves systemd within which the developers

For me: work-wire OK work-wifi OK home-wifi FAIL I don't use a wire at home so I didn't try Then I do sudo service network-manager restart and I can surf again. In that time while I can't sufr the internet I get ping 8.8.8.8 and other IP's. Torrent dowloading is also working in that time. So,

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 1654918] Re: No Internet access with default of Automatic (DHCP)

Temporary workaround which seems to work most of the time (though, 'timing' - as you are suggesting - sometimes is an issue, requiring a couple of 'sudo apt update' attempts in Terminal to successfully resolve all repositories) enter 8.8.8.8 (Google's DNS) into the relevant 'alternate DNS' in

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 1654918] Re: No Internet access with default of Automatic (DHCP)

On second thoughts, despite 'dnsutils' and 'bind9-host' updates 17.04 is still buggy on my two Toshiba laptops (one ancient, one less so). Can take up to three attempts to resolve all repositories with 'sudo apt update' after boot. Alternatively, on first attempts, browsers (Firefox, Chromium) do

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 1654918] Re: No Internet access with default of Automatic (DHCP)

Fortunately I had retained 17.04 full installation on a USB stick. Downloaded new update via Google DNS on IPV4, then deleted 8.8.8.8 and tested. Seems to be working. So far so good Thanks for the heads-up hrvooje! Best David On 18 April 2017 at 07:09, hrvooje <1654...@bugs.launchpad.net>

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 1654918] Re: No Internet access with default of Automatic (DHCP)

Actually there seem to be two related or unrelated issues. One seems to be purely DNS and the other Network Manager... Dunno. My original issue was Network Manager. Now ok for no reason i can see. The more sticky one with my latest upgrade was no problem linking to my WiFi but no internet when

Re: [Desktop-packages] [Bug 1654918] Re: No Internet access with default of Automatic (DHCP)

Regret to inform that an upgrade from 16.04 is also displaying the bug. Reduced to using Google DNS on ipv4 (8.8.8.8) in order to work around it David On 14 Apr 2017 14:11, "David Oser" <1654...@bugs.launchpad.net> wrote: I'm also experiencing this exact bug. Upgrading from 16.10 to 17.04 did
