I think the two issues here should be disentangled. In particular I think the problem with NetworkManager should be split out and tracked as a separate bug.
To be clear the problem with NetworkManager is that it doesn't take the complete set of actions necessary so that "hostname -f" and gethostbyname(2) return the correct domainname. In NetworkManager cases the /etc/network/interfaces is just: auto lo iface lo inet loopback Everything else is handled by NetworkManager. NetworkManager correctly constructs /etc/resolv.conf. It needs to do something else: either rewrite /etc/hosts or something. Users should NOT be required to edit /etc/hosts unless they have special requirements when using NetworkManager. All the info comes from DHCP. -- hostname -f does not return a proper FQDN https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/8980 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
