Did a quick test with the originally attached test file, this only happens if 'mdns4' is last on the nsswitch.conf line. I don't think this is the default we ship anymore, we currently ship:
hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns TJ: Do you have the exact nsswitch.conf line the user was using? With regards to the multi second timeouts.. this should only happen if the user is looking up a .local hostname or reverse DNS specifically for 169.254.x.x.. I'd also wonder if they had a interface with a 169.254 link-local address assigned. Do you also happen to have the output of "ip addr" and "ip -6 addr" Alternative I am lathiat on IRC, maybe you can put me in contact with the user? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1295229 Title: With 'hosts: mdns4' in nsswitch.conf, getaddrinfo() returns -5 (EAI_NODATA) when network interface is down To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nss-mdns/+bug/1295229/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
