Work-around: Using Synaptic Package Manager, downgrading the network-manager package to version 1.1.93-0ubuntu4 and restarting the network-manager causes the unwanted behavior to stop.
Work around steps: 1) Install Synaptic Package Manager sudo apt-get install synaptic 2) Search for "network-manager" (no quotes), and then select "network- manager" so that it is highlighted. 3) In the "Package" menu, select "Force Version" and choose 1.1.93-0ubuntu4 from the drop-down-menu: http://neartalk.com/ss/2016-10-19_005_1918x1077.png 4) Click the Apply button 5) Restart the network-manger service: sudo service network-manager restart 6) Reconnect to your vpn After these steps I was able to ping computers on the remote VPN network by their computer-name without having to explicitly type the "Search Domain" portion of their address, as prescribed by the "Additional Search Domain" option in the VPN configuration dialog. This is only a work-around, there is definitely a bug in network-manager version 1.2.2-0ubuntu0.16.04.3. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1633877 Title: VPN - "Additional Search Domains" Settings are being Ignored To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/network-manager-applet/+bug/1633877/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
