I have been aware of this bug for some time, so in preparation for filing the
report I took a single laptop and did a default installation of each of the
below listed distributions, then added their initial updates, then tested.
On each distribution I ran this command;
hostnamectl | grep System && hostnamectl | grep Kernel && nmcli dev show
| grep DNS && nslookup BGOWIKI01v
and after trimming out some clutter, combined the results into a single text
file.
It shows that each distribution acknowledges it has been assigned the DNS
server (192.168.3.2) by the DHCP server, then it shows the success/failure of
the nslookup command.
As each distribution was installed specifically for this test, around the same
time, and with default configurations, I cannot discern a local configuration
problem. Rather, I think this test setup and results show conclusively that
Ubuntu 16.04 correctly queries it's assigned DNS, while 18.04 & Pop!_OS 19.04
do not. Debian 10 (an upstream distribution) queries and resolves as
expected, as do openSUSE Leap 15.1 and Fedora 31
Further, on 16.10 and derivatives, unless I add a local hosts file entry of;
192.168.3.60 BGOWIKI01v
browsers on those distributions cannot access the wiki running on BGOWIKI01v.
The other named distributions do not need the hosts file entry as they resolve
the name via the DNS as they should.
"Since there isn't enough information in your report to differentiate
between a local configuration problem and a bug in Ubuntu" - please
advise any further information needed ; I will keep the test laptop in
tact for the life of this report.
