| bkerensa | slangasek: Might you help me troubleshoot something? Since the freeze yesterday and a update I have found my system to be epic unstable | 00:40 |
|---|---|---|
| bkerensa | I cannot even do upgrades now | 00:40 |
| bkerensa | Err http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main tk8.5 amd64 8.5.11-1 | 00:40 |
| bkerensa | Something wicked happened resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-5 - No address associated with hostname) | 00:40 |
| bkerensa | DNS is resolving for most things but for some things it is not | 00:40 |
| slangasek | ls -l /etc/resolv.conf | 00:40 |
| bkerensa | ls -l /etc/resolv.conf | 00:41 |
| blkperl | doesn't ping from psu | 00:41 |
| bkerensa | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Feb 14 17:54 /etc/resolv.conf -> ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf | 00:41 |
| slangasek | and is /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf present? | 00:41 |
| blkperl | oh wait nvm | 00:41 |
| bkerensa | blkperl: Yeah but its not just archive servers... My DNS has been timing out since yesterday | 00:41 |
| bkerensa | and I have tried a variety of DNS servers so I dont think it happens to be the dns servers im using | 00:41 |
| slangasek | and if it's missing, what does 'status resolvconf' show? | 00:42 |
| blkperl | maybe precise is buggy | 00:42 |
| slangasek | all software is buggy | 00:42 |
| blkperl | lol | 00:42 |
| bkerensa | slangasek: resolvconf start/running | 00:42 |
| * blkperl goes back to fighting with a passenger init script | 00:42 | |
| slangasek | bkerensa: ok; cat /etc/resolv.conf? | 00:42 |
| bkerensa | nameserver 127.0.0.1 | 00:43 |
| slangasek | bkerensa: Ubuntu desktop install? | 00:45 |
| slangasek | do you have the bind9 package installed? | 00:45 |
| bkerensa | slangasek: no | 00:46 |
| slangasek | using network-manager for networking? | 00:46 |
| bkerensa | slangasek: yes desktop install | 00:46 |
| bkerensa | slangasek: Yep... A stock desktop 12.04 | 00:46 |
| bkerensa | :) | 00:46 |
| slangasek | is there a dnsmasq process running? | 00:46 |
| bkerensa | ahhh | 00:46 |
| bkerensa | slangasek: Not locally | 00:46 |
| bkerensa | :) | 00:46 |
| bkerensa | at the router level | 00:46 |
| bkerensa | :D | 00:46 |
| slangasek | hmm? | 00:47 |
| bkerensa | my router uses dnsmasq | 00:47 |
| slangasek | there's *supposed* to be a dnsmasq running | 00:47 |
| bkerensa | oh | 00:47 |
| slangasek | NM launches it | 00:47 |
| bkerensa | ok | 00:47 |
| slangasek | you've checked the process list and it's not there? | 00:47 |
| bkerensa | slangasek: Yes dnsmasq is running | 00:47 |
| bkerensa | :) | 00:47 |
| slangasek | ok | 00:47 |
| slangasek | hmm, trying to remember when else I've seen that error before | 00:48 |
| bkerensa | slangasek: Whatever the root cause is... Its only intermittent like if I go to a site sometimes it loads and sometimes I get a resolve error (regardless of browser) | 00:48 |
| slangasek | hmm | 00:48 |
| bkerensa | also when I try to do any name based commands via terminal like updates it fails and if I repeatedly try | 00:48 |
| bkerensa | it will eventually go through | 00:49 |
| bkerensa | same with browser.... (lots of refreshing for win) | 00:49 |
| slangasek | and NM shows your network connection as stable the throughout? | 00:49 |
| bkerensa | slangasek: Correct. | 00:50 |
| slangasek | does /var/run/nm-dns-dnsmasq.conf list the nameservers you expect? | 00:50 |
| bkerensa | slangasek: Yes | 00:51 |
| slangasek | well, you could try editing /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf to comment out the 'dns=dnsmasq' line | 00:52 |
| bkerensa | slangasek: ok | 00:52 |
| slangasek | then restart NM (sudo service network-manager restart) | 00:52 |
| slangasek | and check that /etc/resolv.conf is not pointing at 127.0.0.1 anymore | 00:52 |
| slangasek | that will rule out it being a dnsmasq problem. I suspect you have a problem somewhere else that's not actually related to any Ubuntu updates though | 00:53 |
| slangasek | (and if removing dnsmasq doesn't fix it, I'm pretty certain it's not an Ubuntu bug) | 00:53 |
| slangasek | bkerensa: any news? | 01:26 |
| bkerensa | slangasek: No improvement | 01:35 |
| bkerensa | :( I will continue trying things | 01:35 |
| bkerensa | I'm going to swap out my router in the rare case it is causing issues | 01:35 |
| slangasek | yes, the problem is most likely not local to the machine | 01:36 |
| blkperl | grr i get this annoying my mouse in being held down until i switch windows | 02:14 |
| blkperl | and im not sure if i have a sticky touchpad or a its unity playing games with me | 02:14 |
| nibalizer | blkperl: almost certainly your fault :P | 02:31 |
| blkperl | nibalizer: you are a troll sir | 02:31 |
