I'm PXE booting 17.10 live with Serva. I also found that the booting image DNS is broken.
I traced the problem to Casper within the booting initrd.lz, the file /script/casper-bottom/23networking does not populate /etc/systemd/resolved.conf therefore the DNS daemon does not work. I've added to 23networking if [ -f /root/etc/systemd/resolved.conf ]; then resolv=/root/etc/systemd/resolved.conf cat > $resolv <<EOF # resolv=/root/etc/systemd/resolved.conf # Autogenerated by casper-Serva EOF echo "[Resolve]" >> $resolv [ -n "$rc_server0" ] && [ "$rc_server0" != "0.0.0.0" ] && echo "DNS=$rc_server0" >> $resolv [ -n "$rc_server1" ] && [ "$rc_server1" != "0.0.0.0" ] && echo "FallbackDNS=$rc_server1" >> $resolv [ -n "$rc_server1" ] && [ "$rc_server1" = "0.0.0.0" ] && [ "$rc_server0" != "0.0.0.0" ] && echo "FallbackDNS=$rc_server0" >> $resolv [ -n "$rc_domain" ] && echo "Domains=${rc_domain}" >> $resolv echo "#LLMNR=yes" >> $resolv echo "#MulticastDNS=yes" >> $resolv echo "#DNSSEC=no" >> $resolv echo "#Cache=yes" >> $resolv echo "#DNSStubListener=udp" >> $resolv fi and now 17.10 live PXE boots correctly with a healthy DNS Best, Patrick ** Attachment added: "23networking" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1725680/+attachment/5021036/+files/23networking -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1725680 Title: DNS name resolution doesn't work on Artful To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1725680/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
