Hello,

 

I've got a problem with DNS resolving and customize-image.sh.

 

One setup works (home), one setup does not (office).

 

Both setups are OS X (different major versions), Virtual Box (different major versions), Network Bridging and Ubuntu 14.04. Building images (Banana Pi M1/M2/R1 jessie next) without customize-image.sh works perfectly, espacially the apt-get stuff, which needs DNS resolving.

 

The working home setup uses dynamic (DHCP) private RFC1918 IPs (and/or public IPv6 IPs).

 

The nonworking office setup uses public static IPv4 IPs for OS X and Ubuntu. The build process works flawlessly until customize-image.sh is executed.

 

Some excerpts of customize-image.sh and its output.

fping 8.8.8.8
8.8.8.8 is alive
fping 193.99.144.80
193.99.144.80 is alive
fping heise.de # i.e. 193.99.144.80

cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 8.8.8.8

	${OUTPUT_VERYSILENT:+' >/dev/null 2>/dev/null'}

Any help would be appreciated.

What OS release are you building (wheezy/jessie/trusty)?

 

Can you try non-working setup without bridging network interfaces?

 

Edit: Also try adding "nslookup heise.de" to customize-image.sh, this may report more descriptive error message.

won't work, needs "dnsutils" package which is not installed by default

It's jessie next.

 

I could try NAT and RFC1918. But I have to try if copying the image from Ubuntu to the Pi with the SD card reader still works.

NAT doesn't work, too. AFAIK the office router doesn't do masquerading.

Does it work from non-virtual environment? I mean maybe "office router" (or something upstream) does DNS queries filtering and allows using only internal DNS server, while quieries to others (like 8.8.8.8) are blocked?

If OS X has nslookup command, you can try "nslookup heise.de" and "nslookup heise.de 8.8.8.8"

nslookup heise.de 8.8.8.8 can't resolve.

 

I put an 

echo "nameserver ip-of-office-dns-server" > /etc/resolv.conf 

at the beginning of customize-image.sh and everything is fine.

 

Thank you for your help.
