Is it just me or did they go and remove com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist from the latest Beta today?

Looks like it has been removed.  That sucks.  Now I have to deal with my computer waking up every 2 hours and now I can't see my other networked computers.

yup, I have to confirm: I had to load the discoveryhd.plist again to get internet back to work in DP8 :/

Fun fact: with Chrome I was able to surf the internet even when it was deactivated but no other app (spotify etc) was able to get internet connection.

 

I will test later if my computer wakes every 2 hours now.

 

edit: yes, computer wakes up every two hours again with DP8 :/

I just had tons of DNS errors in my system log - after a few restarts I just won back my internet by booting with discoveryhd unloaded and then load it after boot oO

My computer wakes every 2 hours now with beta 3.

Sep 17 03:23:33 mac kernel[0]: Wake reason: RTC0 (Alarm)
Sep 17 05:12:29 mac kernel[0]: Wake reason: RTC0 (Alarm)
Sep 17 07:01:25 mac kernel[0]: Wake reason: RTC0 (Alarm)
Sep 17 08:50:21 mac kernel[0]: Wake reason: RTC0 (Alarm)

A few minutes ago I decided to take mDNSResponder and mDNSResponderHelper from my mavericks install and disable discoveryd again.  So far it seems to be working well. Keep in mind I still have -DisableSleepProxyClient in the mDNSResponder.plist.

 

I copied /usr/sbin/mDNSResponder* from mavericks to /usr/sbin in yosemite.  I then copied com.apple.mDNSResponder*.plist from mavericks /System/Library/LaunchDaemons to /Library/LaunchDaemons on yosemite (I don't like modifying things in /System if I don't have to).  Make sure to copy all files using sudo.

sudo cp /Volumes/Mavericks/usr/sbin/mDNSResponder* /usr/sbin/
sudo cp /Volumes/Mavericks/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder*.plist /Library/LaunchDaemons/

Then I did:

sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponderHelper.plist

Reboot after doing that.

I tried to do that too. In order to  add -DisableSleepProxyClient I copied the responder.plist to the desktop, added the link and copied it back. I had to authenticate it my password. The problem is, that now the "path had bad ownership/permissions". So tried to fix the permissions with chmod/chown but I'm not successful :(

I just don't know all those little unix tricks :/

Could you please help me out here? 

 

Also, doing all your steps (excluding -DisableSleepProxyClient edit) resulted in DNS errors after restart. Even more restarts didn't help. Only restarting discoveryhd helped. It's just not my day today :/

I don't have a Mavs install.  Any way you can share that file?  I also had to revert this fix and now get wake ups every 2 hours again.  Would love to fix it as it is constantly ejecting my external HDD's (and slowly driving me insane).

Here is a zip of the 2 binaries and the plists.  Binaries go in /usr/sbin and plists in /Library/LaunchDaemons

 

You'll need to manually set owner/group on the files once you copy them

sudo chown root:wheel /usr/sbin/mDNSResponder*
sudo chown root:staff /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder*.plist

EDIT: Forgot to mention that -DisableSleepProxyClient is already in the plist.

thanks for the commands mcdougal33. You do have a little typo (chwon instead of chown). I tried to give root:wheel to the launch daemons before - that's why it didn't work :/

 

but my main problem is now as follows:

Even a few restarts didn't help. I only get internet back when I load the discoveryhd back :/

I also just tried your files - same problem. I don't know what's missing. It has worked before...

 

maybe it has something to do with that:

9/18/14 12:22:07.758 PM coreaudiod[270]: dnssd_clientstub ConnectToServer: connect() failed path:/var/run/mDNSResponder Socket:5 Err:-1 Errno:61 Connection refused

Try unloading all related plists then load them again with launchctl.  Also, post the output of 'ls -l /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNS*.plist'

 

 

sudo launchctl unload -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist
sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist
sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponderHelper.plist
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist
sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponderHelper.plist

Hi , i've resolved this issue editing com.apple.discoveryd.plist and com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist, just moving this parameter from one to other :

 

<key>Disabled</key>
    <false/>

 

and adding mDNSResponder binaries into /usr/sbin/

 

repairing rights, that's all, and thank you guys !

Same issues on a real MacPro 3,1 here running beta 4 - haven't tried on the hackintosh yet. Applying the fix described above kills internet for me too.

 

I've been experiencing very poor network connectivity (wifi) under this beta regardless though. It won't load pages for ~10min after boot and then at random intervals afterwards, it's like a tap, on or off. Definitally related to the OS, northing to do with signal strength or local internet, am using hackintosh favourite TP-Link WDN-4800 which works great in real Mac's too.

 

Hope they sort all of this out before final GM...

I'm currently too busy to test things. I plan to wait for the final version of yosemite and then make a fresh install and go from there.

Currently, after all the fixes I tried, I don't get internet connection after boot so I have to unload and then load the discoveryhd.plist again to get it back to work. Without the discoveryhd.plist I only get DNS errors and no internet connection.

All I'm doing is dropping the files from the post a couple pages back in their respective locations and repairing permissions and Internet works immediately, I don't even have to reboot. After each update I have to do this because the Internet breaks every time. Other than that, it seems to be working fine.
