Public bug reported: During configuring of a VPN, Network Manager normally allows you to specify "additional Search Domains" that are located on the virtual private network:
http://neartalk.com/ss/2016-10-16_001_601x625.png However, in Ubuntu 16.10 the network manager is ignoring the "additional Search Domains" that I've specified at the dialog I've linked above. Normally, after connecting to a VPN (where additional Search Domains are specified), the command (below) will show (in addition to your local Search Domains) the remote Search Domains (located on the VPN): nmcli dev show | grep DOMAIN Unfortunately, in Ubuntu 16.10, this is not working. Consequently, I cannot resolve remote computers by their computer-name because the "Search Domains" I've specified are not getting appended to the computer-names I'm pinging. I've confirm this issue on both OpenVPN and Cisco vpnc connections. The additional Search Domains are not making it here: nmcli dev show | grep DOMAIN ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.10 Package: network-manager 1.2.4-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.8.0-22.24-generic 4.8.0 Uname: Linux 4.8.0-22-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.3-0ubuntu8 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Sun Oct 16 10:16:04 2016 IfupdownConfig: # interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) auto lo iface lo inet loopback InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-10-13 (2 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.10 "Yakkety Yak" - Release amd64 (20161012.2) NetworkManager.state: [main] NetworkingEnabled=true WirelessEnabled=true WWANEnabled=true SourcePackage: network-manager UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) nmcli-nm: RUNNING VERSION STATE STARTUP CONNECTIVITY NETWORKING WIFI-HW WIFI WWAN-HW WWAN running 1.2.4 connected started full enabled disabled disabled enabled enabled ** Affects: network-manager-applet Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: network-manager-openvpn Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: network-manager-vpnc Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug yakkety ** Also affects: network-manager-vpnc Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: network-manager-openvpn Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: network-manager-applet Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1633877 Title: VPN - "Additional Search Domains" Settings are being Ignored To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/network-manager-applet/+bug/1633877/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
