Description Stephan Kulow 2019-05-15 05:23:18 UTC

Since resolv.conf is a link to be recreated by wicked, dnsmasq fails to start on boot pretty reproducibly:

● dnsmasq.service - DNS caching server.
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/dnsmasq.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
  Drop-In: /run/systemd/generator/dnsmasq.service.d

After boot everything is fine, so a simple restart fixes it.

Fails also on 15.1.

Comment 2 Reinhard Max 2019-07-10 11:57:23 UTC

Unfortunately the error message is misleading.
See bug 1123699 comment 34 for a detailed explanation of what's going on.

Comment 3 Andreas Schwab 2019-07-10 13:58:47 UTC

No, this has nothing to do with libvirt.

Comment 4 Reinhard Max 2019-07-11 07:41:30 UTC

The other one was found in a libvirt context, but the underlaying problem that dnsmasq fails to start because the directory that contains /etc/resolv.conf does not exist is the same.

Comment 5 Reinhard Max 2019-07-11 07:53:17 UTC

Andreas, please test if this helps:

# echo "d /run/netconfig 0755 root root -" > /etc/tmpfiles.d/netconfig.conf
# reboot

I suggested this in bug 112369 comment 36, but nobody seems to have tried it yet.

Comment 6 Andreas Schwab 2019-07-15 12:57:08 UTC

Yes, this works for me.

Comment 7 Reinhard Max 2019-07-15 13:28:04 UTC

Thanks for testing.
I just noticed that I missed a digit in the bug number I posted in comment 5.
I meant bug 1123699 comment 36.
