This bug forced me to search for ubuntu alternatives. I'm looking currently at Manjaro.

About commenting out dns=dnsmasq.
Doing so on laptop (LAN and wifi connections active) has this drawback:
ping my_comp_name
.....unresloved name
adding my_comp_name to /etc/hosts makes the ping my_comp_name working again, but
unplagging RJ45, system changes automatically to wifi connetcion (other IP) and ping my_comp_name again is not working. With dnsmasq enabled the system nicely deals with name resolution so there are no such issues. What happens when the host name resolution is not working ok? System behaves oddly (it delays some operations in many situations).
