I am new to eOS and really dig it. I noticed that my workstation (out of the box eOS) cannot resolve hosts on my lan.

I have a small DNS Domain (lan.local) which I use to manage local machines like

icemaker.lan.local

I noticed that while my host can resolve Internet Domains, when I try to ping icemaker.lan.local the can't be resolved. Previous to this install, I was using Fedora workstation and DNS worked as expected

SystemD failed at DNS configration :(

elementary OS uses a service, systemd-resolved.service, to manage DNS lookups. This service is used by many Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu, the distribution on which elementary is built. Take a look at this similar question in the Unix & Linux Stack Exchange and see if this doesn't answer your question.

  • Hmm, so it sounds like this is an unfixable bug. The workaround seems hamfisted. Thanks for the tip.

  • SO we are saying that by default Elementary OS can't do local DNS lookups?
