@jdthood: the "Standalone dnsmasq is not compatible out of the box with NM+dnsmasq" title hints that the problem is caused by the dnsmasq package, i.e. that it should be crippled and not listen on "lo" by default in order to coexist with the local resolver implementation.
I don't think this is the case, I don't think the dnsmasq package does anything wrong; I just cross-linked the bug report in case other people hit the problem and try to find it in the dnsmasq bug page. The problem should be fixed from the network-manager side. Otherwise, similar bug reports should be filed against all other DNS server packages, not just dnsmasq. But I really think that people do want their DNS servers to listen on "lo" by default. They wouldn't want to break that just to help the local resolver implementation. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/959037 Title: Don't start local resolver if a DNS server is installed Status in “dnsmasq” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: As described in https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/foundations-p-dns- resolving, network manager now starts a dnsmasq instance for local DNS resolving. That breaks the default bind9 and dnsmasq installations, for people that actually want to install a DNS server. Having to manually comment out "#dns=dnsmasq" in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf doesn't sound good, and if it stays that way, it should be moved to the bind9 and dnsmasq postinst scripts. Please make network-manager smarter so that it checks if bind9 or dnsmasq are installed, so that it doesn't start the local resolver in that case.
