I'm certain that it was not an 'administration error' - I discovered that my networking was broken within an hour of clean install. Others at my office have complained of search domains not working, which smells of resolvconf being broken (my understanding is that resolvconf is responsible for populating search domains in this new resolution chain). I also don't know how you can release a system resolver implementation that "wasn't perfect", or even close to it (when the existing one wasn't broken and the new implementation adds serious complexity for questionable gain), particularly in an LTS release, but suggesting that 'the users broke it' isn't going to fix things. In any case, I'm still subscribed to the other bug, so happy for any continued discussion of that particular issue to happen there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1003842 Title: Precise NM with "dns=dnsmasq" breaks systems with non-equivalent upstream nameservers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1003842/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
