Great suggestion, Mathieu -- unfortunately, NM overwrote all the 127.0.0.n lines (not just 127.0.0.1), so back to the drawing board. I can't think of any way to do this without setting up a full DNS server just for my laptop. I'm betting there are a lot of other people doing web development who will discover the same problem.
This bit of NM behaviour was modified not because anything was wrong, but because someone wanted to enforce a rigid idea of how loopback is supposed to work, and erase anything in /etc/hosts that didn't match that idea. I hate solutions based on dogma instead of problem-solving. -- Aliases in /etc/hosts overwritten https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/659872 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
