Running 16.04.1 and this fix doesn't seem to make a difference. Feb 5 10:55:56 ubuntu systemd[1]: dnsmasq.service: Start-post operation timed out. Stopping. Feb 5 10:55:56 ubuntu dnsmasq[31933]: exiting on receipt of SIGTERM Feb 5 10:55:56 ubuntu systemd[1]: Failed to start dnsmasq - A lightweight DHCP and caching DNS server. Feb 5 10:55:56 ubuntu systemd[1]: Dependency failed for Host and Network Name Lookups. Feb 5 10:55:56 ubuntu systemd[1]: nss-lookup.target: Job nss-lookup.target/start failed with result 'dependency'. Feb 5 10:55:56 ubuntu systemd[1]: dnsmasq.service: Unit entered failed state. Feb 5 10:55:56 ubuntu systemd[1]: dnsmasq.service: Failed with result 'timeout'. /lib/systemd/system/dnsmasq.service is where I added the 2 lines so it looks like this: [Unit] Description=dnsmasq - A lightweight DHCP and caching DNS server Requires=network.target After=network-online.target Wants=network-online.target Yet the error still happens: ubuntu systemd[1]: nss-lookup.target: Job nss-lookup.target/start failed with result 'dependency'. I ran a apt --purge and removed dnsmasq completely, then reinstalled it. Got the same nss-lookup.target error. Based on some other bugs, maybe dnsmasq didn't have it's interface defined properly. So I added the interface=enp6s0 line to the dnsmasq.conf file. Restarting the service still yields the same nss-lookup.target error. To get back to a working system, either a reboot or run "service dnsmasq start" instead of restart. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1464990 Title: Job for dnsmasq.service failed because the control process exited with error code To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dnsmasq/+bug/1464990/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
