Re: Non-stop DNS Query
interesting!
a couple of things crop up...
it's wild guessing, of course...
1) something's wrong in your /etc/hosts file with regard to localhost
please post back the content of that file
and while you're at it, pls also post the content of /etc/resolv.conf
2) your routing tables are screwed up
please post back the result of the following command
3) or some machine on your lan got named localhost?Code:netstat -rn

Re: Non-stop DNS Query
Actually it was none of the above - had something to do with my resolv.conf file, it was messed up somehow. I tried to fix it, without knowing what i was doing
and then i spent the next 4 hours trying to stop the system from going to BusyBox and init: rc-default main process <PID> terminated with status 127. I don't think the resolv.conf file caused those problems though, i'm not sure what did it, maybe an update or some messed up earlier and i just hadn't rebooted yet.
Anyways I eventually got everything back up and running after booting from a live cd and copying the resolv.conf from the live cd over the messed up one and then running a reinstall of udev and upstart-compat-sysv.
I hope i don't have to do that again.
Anyways if anyone runs any of these problems, maybe this will help them resolve it.
Edit: I just noticed that you requested to post my resolv.conf file, so you were right about that one
