My local network has a DNS search domain specified as part of the DHCP response. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS gets this right, but Bodhi 2.0 isn't.

When I attempt to look up an address that should be resolved using the search domain, I get nothing:

bodhi@bodhi:~$ host cucumber
Host cucumber not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)

If I add the search domain manually, it's fine:

bodhi@bodhi:~$ host cucumber.ephox.intra
cucumber.ephox.intra has address 10.1.1.5

How can I track down what's going on?

I have tried entering the DNS settings manually through the network connections interface, that didn't work either.

I had the same issue, will post the instructions below on how to resolve in the AM.

Thanks, I too am having the same issue. I am wondering if I just get bodhi to use the /etc/resolv.conf file? I added a search path via the networking tool but it only partially fixes the issue.

Here are the steps I followed to get my brand new Bodhi Installation to search my domain:

1 - sudo apt-get purge network-manager network-manager-gnome

2 - Go to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf

3 - Use your favorite text editor to open the "head" file.

4 - Type as your very first line: search "yourdomain"

5 - Open with your favorite editor /etc/network/interfaces

6 - Type the lines:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

*** Note: The lines above in the /etc/network/interfaces are for a dhcp setup, if you need an static ip address follow the link below. **

7 - Reboot your machine and you should now be able to ping any computer in your domain by hostname.

Enjoy!
