2012-12-06 12:52:43 Thomas Hood summary DNS lookup fails intermittently with Comcast, when Network Manager's copy of dnsmasq is in use. Please don't enable the NetworkManager-controlled dnsmasq by default
2012-12-06 12:53:08 Thomas Hood description In Ubuntu's default configuration, Network Manager spawns a copy of dnsmasq, which breaks DNS lookups for me. It has done this since Ubuntu 12.04, when this was made the default. I've just been following the workaround that has worked for other people of disabling dnsmasq in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf. There have been multiple bug reports about the various problems of this configuration, but it remains the default configuration in 12.10, and breaks my DNS lookups there, as well. Someone mentioned I should file a bug. So, why not? It'll just be ignored like they always are, but fine. You got it!
