ignore the .local stuff, that's just avahi madness and doesn't seem to be related. Here's what I'm seeing locally when I try this: I'm noticing from the dnsmasq server that in the leases file, if I start a quantal vm I see the hostname. I also see the hostname pop up in the syslog. If I start up a raring vm though, I don't see the hostname ever come across. I went to a raring vm and ran dhclient by hand, and everything worked. The hostname was sent with the dhcp request, and I could access the system by sshing or pinging the hostname alone. Running dhcpclient alone uses the default config under /etc though. With NetworkManager in the picture though, a different config file is used:
$ ps -ef |grep dhclient root 733 693 0 21:44 ? 00:00:00 /sbin/dhclient -d -4 -sf /usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dhcp-client.action -pf /run/sendsigs.omit.d/network-manager.dhclient-eth0.pid -lf /var/lib/dhclient/dhclient-0f1c7278-f6f0-4447-a3a7-40c0c7c300d6-eth0.lease -cf /var/run/nm-dhclient-eth0.conf eth0 $ cat /var/run/nm-dhclient-eth0.conf # Created by NetworkManager option rfc3442-classless-static-routes code 121 = array of unsigned integer 8; option ms-classless-static-routes code 249 = array of unsigned integer 8; option wpad code 252 = string; also request rfc3442-classless-static-routes; also request ms-classless-static-routes; also request wpad; also request ntp-servers; If I look another system I have, I see the addition of this line in that file: send host-name "myhostname"; # added by NetworkManager So it looks like nm is generating this file without putting the line in to send the hostname. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1084064 Title: Can not ssh to raring VM's using hostname To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1084064/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
