Public bug reported: TLDR version: with dnsmasq disabled in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf my DHCP NM connection resolves names just fine. However, when using a Static IP NM with the same default gateway, dns's, etc., then names do not resolve correctly. Granted, these are names on an internal network (e.g. "google.com" still resolves just fine in either case, as do other pages/sites). Reboots do not seem to have any effects.
Here's my askUbuntu post, for more detail (e.g. nmcli output for both cases): http://askubuntu.com/questions/684709/dns-goes-missing-with-static-ip-via-networkmanager Here are some existing launchpad bugs which appear to be related: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/959037 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1003842 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/998529 $ cat /etc/lsb-release DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu DISTRIB_RELEASE=12.04 DISTRIB_CODENAME=precise DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS" $ apt-cache policy network-manager network-manager: Installed: 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu4.4.1 Candidate: 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu4.4.1 Version table: *** 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu4.4.1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 0.9.4.0-0ubuntu3 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages $ apt-cache policy dnsmasq dnsmasq: Installed: (none) Candidate: 2.59-4ubuntu0.2 Version table: 2.59-4ubuntu0.2 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/universe amd64 Packages 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security/universe amd64 Packages 2.59-4 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/universe amd64 Packages Thank you. ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1510293 Title: NetworkManager dnsmasq dependency for static ip but not dhcp To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1510293/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
