Public bug reported: If I want to resolv my own hostname the system will use /etc/hosts or DNS to do this. If there's no entry for my hostname in hosts file and no DNS answer (because missing network connection), the system isn't able to resolv my own hostname to an ip adress. If the network connection is very slow, it can take long time to resolv. ifconfig does still work in less then one second.
host `hostname` should be as fast as ifconfig (or faster as ifconfig because less output) ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Fast own hostname resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/243240 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
