Public bug reported: After upgrading to Ubuntu 16.10 from 16.04, DNS resolution of hosts on my local network fails.
The hosts line in /etc/nsswitch.conf is: hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] resolve [!UNAVAIL=return] dns mdns4 If I change it to: hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 I can resolve hosts on my local network. Appending .local to the hostname also allows DNS resolution since systemd-resolve returns a different error for that case. Ex: systemd-resolve rt-ac66u rt-ac66u: resolve call failed: All attempts to contact name servers or networks failed systemd-resolve rt-ac66u.local rt-ac66u.local: resolve call failed: No appropriate name servers or networks for name found "dig rt-ac66u" returns the correct ip. ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1641468 Title: systemd-resolve: fallback from resolve causes lookup of local network hosts to fail Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: After upgrading to Ubuntu 16.10 from 16.04, DNS resolution of hosts on my local network fails.
