Looks like you're using a dbus service, while by default (afaik) dnsmasq isn't configured to connect to dbus, so it'll just wait forever and ever.. > > > > • The resolvconf stuff I regard as obsolete when using NetworkManager or > > some > > other configuration tool. > > Hmm, I'm not going to argue that one ;-) As long as you ensure NM still correctly interacts with dnsmasq such that all local nameserver queries can go via dnsmasq and dnsmasq uses the resolv.conf file written by NM this might be true. There are other cases where resolvconf is useful though (essential every time you get dns servers from multiple services)..
