[SOLVED] DNS not working after pacman -Syu

Postby McFox » Fri May 03, 2019 7:54 am

Hi!

I did a full system update on my Raspberry Pi 2 yesterday. Everything went fine, but after rebooting it can't resolve hostnames anymore. Any idea what could've changed? I tried editing resolvconf.conf with various different DNS's (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.8.4, my ISP's own ones, and my router address, which are usually the ones that work) and doing resolvconf -u , but that didn't change anything. The configuration files seemed fine to begin with too, so I don't think that's the issue anyway.

(I decided to post this here instead of Armv7 because it doesn't seem a like RPi specific thing to me)

Could the dhcp stuff happening during boot have changed somehow? I've disabled dhcpcd, because I'm booting off of an nfs share and if dhcpcd starts, the connection drops for a while resulting in a kernel panic. Not running dhcpcd caused some similar problems before, but I don't remember how I fixed it...

Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide! I'm not at home at the moment so I can't provide any version numbers etc. right now (since the Pi can't resolve addresses, it can't connect to my VPN either so I can't access it "outside"), but I'll get back to it in the evening.

By the way, earlier the Pi wouldn't boot and when I connected it to a monitor it said "vers=3" is unknown - that's an nfs parameter, and it worked again after removing that from the cmdline.txt. Weird, because it always worked before. I don't even recall updating anything between...

Do you use unbound/bind/pihole etc.?

Anyhow, you can try to stop
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'sudo systemctl stop systemd-resolved.service')
If it's working again.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'sudo systemctl disable systemd-resolved.service')

Check pacnews as well.

Good luck

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('DanSman', 'D')o you use unbound/bind/pihole etc.?


Nope, I don't.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('DanSman', 's')ystemd-resolved.service


Hmmm... I tried start/restart on that. I haven't enabled it myself, so I thought it wasn't enabled in the first place. I'll check that out when I get home.

Oh and yeah, I totally forgot about pacnew-files possibly being created. I don't update that particular system very often, so when I do, it updates basically everything and it'd be a huge operation to go through every change.

I found the same issue: system time was unset, could not resolve host names (ie ping http://www.google.com failed).

Stopping systemd-resolved, and manually defining /etc/resolv.conf fixed the issue:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 192.168.1.1')

What I find odd is that only 1 of 3 RPi boxes had this problem.

The issues with systemd-resolved and DNSSEC are not limited to the failed validation when the system clock is incorrect.
When the clock was set correctly and google.com was reachable, it was still not possible on one of my RPis to access mirror.archlinuxarm.org.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[user@alarmpi ~]$ sudo pacman -Syu

journalctl showed failures:

')
It seems that systemd-resolved was trying to get and validate the DNSKEY of the .org TLD and it was failing somehow.
I was able to reproduce the issue; note the rcode: SERVFAIL and lack of proper answer.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[user@alarmpi ~]$ drill -D mirror.archlinuxarm.org @127.0.0.53

')
The same query send directly to the home router.

')
Nonetheless, everything worked fine on another RPi with Arch in another location, connected to a different home router.
I believe the bug is triggered by combination of two factors:
- a way systemd-resolved creates the DNS queries (its queries contain additional optional fields), and
- the DNS server in the crappy Huawei home router, which might have issues with large DNS responses.

Anyway, the workaround was simply:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'sudo systemctl disable --now systemd-resolved')

Re: [SOLVED] DNS not working after pacman -Syu

Postby slackline » Sun May 26, 2019 4:05 pm

Just a heads up that I've been experiencing this on one (and only one) of three Raspberry Pi's on my home network, albeit intermittently.

I've two Pi2 B+'s (armv71) and one Pi Zero W (armv61) and its one of the armv71 that this happens under.

That its only one of three and DNS on my home router (a Linksys WRT 1900ACS running OpenWRT 18.06.2) makes me suspicious that its down to a crappy home router as MattM suggests.

Copying MattM I have the following output...

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '

# pacman -Syu
:: Synchronising package databases...
error: failed retrieving file 'core.db' from mirror.archlinuxarm.org : Could not resolve host: mirror.archlinuxarm.org

error: failed to update alarm (invalid url for server)
aur is up to date

')

Check systemctl...

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '

I then ran the following and it resolved the issue and I could sync from mirror.archlinuxarm.org again....

Why do you tag it as [SOLVED]? To disable a system service as systemd-resolved is not a solution but a mere workaround.

Also, to have $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'DNSEC=no') in my .network file seems not to prevent it.

It's DNSSEC, not DNSEC. See man systemd.network.
