Public bug reported: Although the search domain is saved to resolv.conf, the resolver is not resolving hosts in the search domain.
Here I'm trying to ping a host whose IP is resolvable via the search domain, but ping can't find the IP unless I add the domain name to the host name: user@accrec2:~$ ping kane ping: unknown host kane user@accrec2:~$ ping kane.jjhawkins.com.au PING kane.jjhawkins.com.au (192.168.1.11) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from kane.jjhawkins.com.au (192.168.1.11): icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=0.175 ms 64 bytes from kane.jjhawkins.com.au (192.168.1.11): icmp_req=2 ttl=64 time=0.192 ms ^C --- kane.jjhawkins.com.au ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 received, 0% packet loss, time 999ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.175/0.183/0.192/0.016 ms user@accrec2:~$ ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: resolvconf 1.63ubuntu16 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-31.50-generic 3.2.28 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-31-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu13 Architecture: i386 Date: Mon Oct 8 16:39:40 2012 DistributionChannelDescriptor: # This is a distribution channel descriptor # For more information see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DistributionChannelDescriptor canonical-oem-boulder-precise-x86-20120504-0 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 "Precise" - Build i386 LIVE Binary 20120504-02:32 PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: SHELL=/bin/bash TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_AU.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_AU:en SourcePackage: resolvconf UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: resolvconf (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug i386 precise -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1063639 Title: Resolver ignores search domain from DHCP server To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/resolvconf/+bug/1063639/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
