Thanks for the update. So I'm still really curious how that defaults file got so confused in the first place... It also may have something to do with why you're still having trouble..
If dnsmasq is still badly installed then that would explain your remaining issue. What does: sudo netstat -nr ifconfig -a cat /etc/ show in the container, and what does ps -ef | grep dnsmasq show on the host? If the container eth0 does not have an ip address, then if you do sudo ifconfig eth0 10.0.3.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 sudo route add -net default dev eth0 ping 10.0.3.1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to lxc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1367495 Title: Bridge still not created if bind9 is on Status in lxc package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: This is probably a dup of bug 1240757, created just so I could upload the data requested in that bug report.
