[Bug 955785] Re: dnsmasq and resolvconf
Marco in #1> don't use base, that as far as I've understand is used only if nothing else is available. Asmo in #2> thank you... tail is the file for added info about dns servers It sounds as if both of you are a little bit confused about the use of these files. Please read resolvconf(8). Addresses from "base" don't appear in resolv.conf if one of the available nameservers is at 127.0.0.1. It's the presence of address 127.0.0.1 that explains why 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 were not listed in /etc/resolv.conf. For interfaces brought up with ifup(8), /etc/network/interfaces is the right place for nameserver information, not the "base" or "tail" files. The configuration originally posted by Asmo was only incorrect insofar as nameserver addresses were unnecessarily present in "base". It would have sufficed to put those addresses only in /etc/network/interfaces. The presence of 127.0.0.1 in Asmo's resolv.conf indicates that dnsmasq had been started and had registered its address with resolvconf. Resolvconf should have sent the addresses 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 to dnsmasq so that dnsmasq could use them as the addresses to forward queries to. That this did not occur indicates that either dnsmasq was not running or that some other abnormal condition existed. Asmo: Can you reproduce the problem? Please delete the base and tail files, restore the dns-nameservers line in /etc/network/interfaces to how it was when you submitted this report, see if name resolution works (yay -- report this) or is broken, in which case please send the contents of /etc/resolv.conf and /var/run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf and the output from "ps -elf | grep dnsmasq". I am assuming that you are not using NetworkManager. Please send the output of "dpkg -l network-manager" and "ps -elf | grep -i networkmanager" so we can be sure. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/955785 Title: dnsmasq and resolvconf To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/955785/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 955785] Re: dnsmasq and resolvconf
Is dnsmasq running? Please copy the output of 'ps -ef | grep dnsmasq' ; If so, can you please attach its configuration file (usually /etc/dnsmasq.conf)? In this case here tail isn't being used; resolvconf only contains 127.0.0.1. If dnsmasq doesn't have the required configuration to resolve google.com; this would explain why you can't ping the name directly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/955785 Title: dnsmasq and resolvconf To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/955785/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Yes, thank you Marco. I know it now; tail is the file for added info about dns servers.

[Bug 955785] Re: dnsmasq and resolvconf
don't use base, that as far as I've understand is used only if nothing else is available. I've added my config in "tail" file. dnsmasq hooks will at nameserver 127.0.0.1 "automagically" right after the content of the "head" file when creating /etc/resolv.conf, so you don't need to do it yourself (just restart dnsmasq everytime you want to regenerate /etc/resolv.conf for testing) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/955785 Title: dnsmasq and resolvconf To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ltsp/+bug/955785/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
