Public bug reported:
(Ubuntu Gnome 16.10)
Recently after upgrading to 16.10 I have a frequent loss of DNS response
for certain sites while browsing in Chrome. This occurs both after
resuming from sleep or sometimes at other (seemingly) random times.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Browse sites in Chrome
2) A site will stop responding and DNS queries will timeout
There's not much more that I can add besides that, however the solution
I've found might give some more information. I was digging around in
the /etc/resolvconf files and found that running the script
"/etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc" fixes the issue immediately, sometimes
even before the script finishes executing. I've tried to read through
the script but I'm not sure I really understand what's going on there.
To give an example of a recent case of this happening. I loaded
politico.com, all the text and css loaded just fine, but every image was
a dead link. Turns out the images were hosted at static2.politico.com.
As soon as I ran the above script and reloaded the page, everything
loaded just fine.
Another case, is upon waking from sleep often Gmail will load the most
recent new e-mails and then when I go to click on one or try to respond,
the interface will timeout and a reload will result in a DNS timeout
until I run the above script.
