The 17.10 install was default, with: hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns
The user gave up and re-installed with 16.04 so we don't have access any more to diagnostic output. However, the issue here was that the lookup should have been satisfied by 'files' since the system hostname was in /etc/hosts, both for IPv4 and IPv6. Regardless of that, what nacc and myself found perplexing is the [NOTFOUND=return] - if mdns fails to resolve the name surely NSS should 'continue' and try to resolve using DNS, not return? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1295229 Title: With 'hosts: mdns4' in nsswitch.conf, getaddrinfo() returns -5 (EAI_NODATA) when network interface is down To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nss-mdns/+bug/1295229/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
