The parsing of /etc/default/dnsmasq won't fly. Please, do post your dnsmasq configuration so we can try to figure out the right way to integrate this with the current setup.
As for the set of resolvers on the network, that's not exactly the "plan": all systems used to have the libc resolver. Now any system that runs NetworkManager will also be running a local dnsmasq instance since that handles a bunch of issues (more than three servers, split DNS, broken IPv6 DNS, etc) far better than libc. Then they can easily speak to a network DNS server if necessary or resolve directly to the internet. I don't understand how your systems are setup, and I think that's where the confusion come from. What I'm expecting is that the LTSP server also runs a dnsmasq daemon to provide resolving to all the LTSP clients; with none of the clients running dnsmasq "locally". Isn't that the case? I do think there are simpler ways to fix this than doing a sed of the nm configuration. -- 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 “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.
