First saw this on a test install of ubuntu 8.10. resolv.conf would not keep nameserver x.x.x.x data. Fixed that by nuking Ubuntu and installed Debian testing.
A few days ago, I started seeing the same behavior when I reboot: no namserver data in the dynamically generated resolv.conf. I can fix this by using the gnome-network-manager or echo 'nameserver x.x.x.x' >/etc/resolv.conf In the case of ubuntu this was caused by a buggy nm-configuration-manager IIRC. Once you left DHCP you could not effect any changes via the gui tool (permission denied to write). On Lenny, I am not running that tool. What is overwriting my resolv.conf and how do I keep the correct data while using static IP? -- Damon L.
