** This bug has been marked a duplicate of bug 1675519 Network Manager w/ dnsmasq Dies when VPN-ing -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1675820 Title: Network manager fails to set domain server in some circumstances Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Occasionally, after a resume from an update, network manager starts behaving strangely, not setting the DomainServer for the network. This happens when resuming the laptop to a location where: - an additional ethernet card (which is the one to use) is attached via USB - configuring that ethernet card NM is set up to clone a given mac address and get addresses only from dhcp, while the dns server is set manually in the network manager configuration - there are also free wifi signals to which NM tends to connect In this setup, NM fails to set the dns name in dnsmasq The issue gets worked around by either 1) Using qdbus to call the dnsmasq dbus method to set the domain server. In this case the solution is temporary. Namely when NM is asked to disconnect from the net and then to reconnect, the issue comes again; or 2) Killing dnsmasq. In this case, dnsmasq ia automatically restarted and everything starts working fine; or 3) Restarting NM itself.
