In Natty, the /etc/hosts still needs manual corrections after install, but I am not sure if this is NetworkManager's fault. After installation with DHCP networking the hosts-file looks like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.1.1 myhost # The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts ::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback fe00::0 ip6-localnet ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix ff02::1 ip6-allnodes ff02::2 ip6-allrouters and /etc/resolv.conf is correctly set by NetworkManager: # Generated by NetworkManager domain my.domain search my.domain nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx With this configuration 'hostname -f' does not return the FQDN as it should. Deleting the second line of /etc/hosts or changing it to: 127.0.1.1 myhost.my.domain myhost solves the problem. Is NetworkManager supposed to add the domain in /etc/hosts or is this a Problem of the Installer? When I install the old 10.04 server edition with DHCP, than the domain name is correctly set in /etc/hosts. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/659817 Title: NetworkManage does not set domain in /etc/hosts on DHCP connections -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
