Yes, I use UEFI. Running update-grub finds the Windows boot manager on the UEFI partition and adds a grub menu item for Windows. Which boots fine now. So would that indicate a problem with the installer?
OK, I uncommented the dns=dnsmasq line in NetworkManager.conf and the dns resolution still works fine. I was confused by the ubuntu section in the webpage I linked to. Not to mention that dnsmasq is launched with the --no-resolv option ("Don't read /etc/resolv.conf. Get upstream servers only from the command line or the dnsmasq configuration file"). Hmmm, "systemctl status NetworkManager" shows that dnsmasq is launched with some interesting options.
From the resolvconf documentation (/usr/share/doc/resolvconf/README.gz) the symlink would seem to be required to enable the autoconfiguration of networking by DHCP (and other packages) to work correctly. It is definitely not a problem with my router. Once I reconfigured the resolvconf package network manager worked perfectly... Interestingly, when I first experienced the problem I set up "Other DNS Servers" in Network Manager", and dns lookups still failed even after restarting the operating system.
I love autoconfiguration of networking when it works, but old-fashioned manual configuration was so much less confusing ;-)
I might have made life difficult for myself by not enabling the wi-fi in the live usb environment before launching the installer. I only noticed that mentioned (in a forum post?) after I had launched the installer. It makes sense to me that the installer would prompt for setup of a network connection if one was not already configured.
Thanks for your help. Tomorrow I'll try installing Maui into a VM and see if I can replicate the networking issue.
Cheers,
John
