Public bug reported: Hello.
I have the following in my /etc/resolv.conf: <snip> # Generated by NetworkManager domain example.local search example.local nameserver 192.168.7.1 nameserver 192.168.7.254 </snip> Both nameservers are functioning properly. I get the following when running host: $ host mail mail.example.local has address 192.168.7.12 $ host mail.example.local mail.example.local has address 192.168.7.12 But when I run ping, I get the following: $ ping -c 1 mail PING mail.example.local (192.168.7.12) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from mail.example.local (192.168.7.12): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.526 ms --- mail.example.local ping statistics --- 1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.526/0.526/0.526/0.000 ms $ ping -c 1 mail.example.local ping: unknown host mail.example.local If I add the following entry in /etc/hosts: 192.168.7.12 mail.torstencalvi.local mail I can ping the fully qualified hostname just fine. ** Affects: iputils (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- ping does not resolve fully qualified host properly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/551389 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
