U12.04 introduced local dnsmasq in Network Manager. This is "ok" when all networking is managed by Network Manager. As soon as I update my network interfaces file, all hell breaks loose. Wifi configuration applet sometimes appears, wlan0 seems completely unpredictable whether it will appear. resolv.conf is completely useless with only 127.0.0.1 and I usually have to manually edit it.
While it seems 12.04 intentionally put local dnsmasq in to save routing all traffic over a VPN (a worthy use-case) the rest of Network Manager (which generally acts like a piece of crap and gets confused) seems to completely toast all network connectivity. I'm constantly having to edit /etc/resolv.conf everytime I startup my computer and change network topology (wifi vs lan). (Can someone in the interwebz re-write Network Manager, Sound and Graphics support for Linux... I have wasted so much of my life on these three basic necessities of a computer-user.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/989900 Title: DNS Resolve Problems in Ubuntu 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/989900/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
