resolv.conf

Oh, Hello!

Tried to fix name resolution on my Ubuntu 12.04 LTS box using answers read here... no effect at all:

Tried to move /etc/resolv.conf link away
Tried to change hosts order in /etc/nsswitch.conf
Tried to reboot|remove|reconfigure my LinkSys, which is a DHCP server for my network

No results. For now, I'm using "reload button" method 'till desired site is open, though if I've misspelled its FQDN.

Can anyone advise something else?

Cheers, Andrey.

Will final version of 12.04 use the power management changes found in kernel 3.3

In this case, kernel 3.3 has seen some very good power management enhancements that are… >>> More

Unfortunately, Ubuntu 10.04 Desktop does not have this feature that I'm aware of, although perhaps I could be wrong. See, as a web developer, I replace my localhost domain with… >>> More
