Thanks Nathan to share you workaround as well, but IMHO it is "just as good" as the --no-hosts flag. In that I mean while it prevent the reply of 127.0.1.1 for the Host it also stops any other entry in Hosts to be used (which users might want or even already rely on).
Darragh, Jason and Serge tried to find a solution which keeps the wanted behaviour (all but Host from /etc/hosts) but fixes the issue (Host itself resolved to 127.0.1.1) to make something suitable for libvirt upstream submission. Despite the time passing since then, I didn't see this or a similar approach to be realized upstream yet. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lxc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1326536 Title: libvirt's dnsmasq setup will read /etc/hosts on the host, resulting in odd resolution behaviour on the VM Status in libvirt package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in lxc package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: When libvirt configures / starts up dnsmasq on the host, it does not pass --no-hosts, resulting in it reading in the /etc/hosts file from the host. The default ubuntu setup will have the host's hostname in /etc/hosts under 127.0.1.1. Since libvirt's dnsmasq is reading this file, anything querying that dnsmasq instance will resolve the host's hostname out of /etc/hosts. The result of this is any VM running on the host will resolve the host's hostname as 127.0.1.1. For example, if the host's hostname is BoxA, any VM running on the host will resolve BoxA to 127.0.1.1, which is not BoxA's actual address. Would recommend passing --no-hosts to dnsmasq when libvirt starts it up. If a user wants hardcoded hosts for their libvirt network, they can add them to /var/lib/libvirt/dnsmasq/default.addnhosts . If this is an acceptable solution, I'd be happy to write the patch up.
