[Bug 1517855] [NEW] NetworkManager dnsmasq failing on start

 

Public bug reported:

I do not have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to networking and the inner working of network manager, but upon starting my computer I noticed that NetworkManager was failing to start correctly.
I checked my syslog in hope of finding a reason for this problem and here are the lines that seems to be the cause:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Nov 19 10:39:04  NetworkManager[12596]: <warn>  dnsmasq exited with error: Filesystem problem (missing file/directory; permissions; etc) (3)
Nov 19 10:39:04  NetworkManager[12596]: <info>  Writing DNS information to /sbin/resolvconf
Nov 19 10:39:04  NetworkManager[12596]: <warn>  DNS: plugin dnsmasq child quit unexpectedly; refreshing DNS
Nov 19 10:39:04  NetworkManager[12596]: <info>  DNS: starting dnsmasq...
Nov 19 10:39:04  NetworkManager[12596]: <warn>  dnsmasq not available on the bus, can't update servers.
Nov 19 10:39:04  NetworkManager[12596]: <error> [1447929544.956041] [dns-manager/nm-dns-dnsmasq.c:387] update(): dnsmasq owner not found on bus: Could not get owner of name 'org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.dnsmasq': no such name
Nov 19 10:39:04  NetworkManager[12596]: <warn>  DNS: plugin dnsmasq update failed
Nov 19 10:39:04  NetworkManager[12596]: <info>  Writing DNS information to /sbin/resolvconf
Nov 19 10:39:04  NetworkManager[12596]: dnsmasq: failed to open pidfile /run/sendsigs.omit.d/network-manager.dnsmasq.pid: No such file or directory
Nov 19 10:39:04  dnsmasq[14381]: failed to open pidfile /run/sendsigs.omit.d/network-manager.dnsmasq.pid: No such file or directory
Nov 19 10:39:04 Misa dnsmasq[14381]: FAILED to start up
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As you will notice in the configuration file of NetworkManager, I worked
around this problem by commenting the use of dnsmasq as a dns plugin.
However, that is not a long term solution and if more users have the
same problem it might help to have a real solution.

I am currently running the desktop version of Ubuntu 15.10-64bits with
network-manager 1.0.4-0ubuntu5.1 installed.

Thank you in advance for your help.
Sincerely.
