[Bug 955785] Re: dnsmasq and resolvconf

[Marco Menardi]

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)

Title:
  dnsmasq and resolvconf

Status in “ltsp” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This is updated Ubuntu 12.04.

  I use ltsp-server-package, not ltsp-server-standalone.

  I have installed dnsmasq and followed this howtos:

  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ProxyDHCP
  http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/
  http://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration#The_resolvconf_program

  
  Thin client boots very nicely, but there are no dns services:

  root at lubuntu:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf
  # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by 
  resolvconf(8)
  #     DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN
  nameserver 127.0.0.1

  
  I use one nic:

  root at lubuntu:~# cat /etc/network/interfaces
  # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
  # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

  # The loopback network interface
  auto lo
  iface lo inet loopback

  # The primary network interface
  auto eth0
  iface eth0 inet static
  	address 192.168.100.10
  	netmask 255.255.255.0
  	network 192.168.100.0
  	broadcast 192.168.100.255
  	gateway 192.168.100.1
  	dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4

  
  I can ping, but not with domain names:

  root at lubuntu:~# ping 8.8.8.8
  PING 8.8.8.8 (8.8.8.8) 56(84) bytes of data.
  64 bytes from 8.8.8.8: icmp_req=1 ttl=43 time=51.2 ms

  root at lubuntu:~# ping google.com
  ping: unknown host google.com

  
  My base is filled:

  root at lubuntu:~# cat /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/base
  nameserver 8.8.8.8
  nameserver 8.8.4.4

  
  How I make dns works in ltsp server with dnsmasq? I do not want go back 
  to use two nics and ltsp-server-standalone.

  root at lubuntu:~# dpkg -l | grep dnsmasq
  ii  dnsmasq                            2.59-4 
               Small caching DNS proxy and DHCP/TFTP server
  ii  dnsmasq-base                       2.59-4 
               Small caching DNS proxy and DHCP/TFTP server
  root at lubuntu:~# dpkg -l | grep resolvconf
  ii  resolvconf                         1.63ubuntu9 
               name server information handler
