Public bug reported: When I boot into the installation CD (kubuntu-12.04-beta2-desktop-i386) DNS service does not work properly. resolv.conf points to 127.0.0.1 which seems correct, /var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf contains correct nameserver IP.
I think it is to do with the fact that nothing listens on port 53. kubuntu@kubuntu:~$ sudo netstat -nlptu|grep 53 udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:5353 0.0.0.0:* 1173/avahi-daemon: udp6 0 0 :::5353 :::* 1173/avahi-daemon: kubuntu@kubuntu:~$ dnsmasq is running: kubuntu@kubuntu:~$ ps -ef|grep /usr/sbin/dnsmasq nobody 1275 1191 0 21:17 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/dnsmasq --no-resolv --keep-in-foreground --no-hosts --bind-interfaces --pid-file=/var/run/sendsigs.omit.d/network-manager.dnsmasq.pid --listen-address=127.0.0.1 --conf-file=/var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf --cache-size=0 --proxy-dnssec When I do lsof it show interesting results: kubuntu@kubuntu:~$ sudo lsof|grep 1275 <info ommited> dnsmasq 1275 nobody 3r sock 0,7 0t0 11578 can't identify protocol dnsmasq 1275 nobody 4w FIFO 0,8 0t0 11587 pipe dnsmasq 1275 nobody 5u FIFO 0,8 0t0 11587 pipe dnsmasq 1275 nobody 6u unix 0xec3126c0 0t0 11589 socket If I kill the process, recreate /var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf and start it on the CLI manually everything is fine (I can resolve hostname and and dnsmasq binds to the port 53) kubuntu@kubuntu:~$ sudo netstat -nlput|grep 53 I am using VirtualBox 4.1.12 for testing with almost default config of my VM. It happens every time so if you need any more details I can provide them easily.
