Certainly that condition exists on my system and certainly it isn't from me editing resolv.conf. This is the entire content of /etc/resolv.conf. # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN nameserver 127.0.0.1 Given the number of cooks [softwares] in the kitchen [system], I can only guess how the spice ["nameserver 127.0.0.1"] came to be in the soup [network configuration]. In any case, the number [ip address] for directory assistance [dns of the ISP] is somewhere in the kitchen [system]. According to my understanding, this number was brought by a well known delivery service [dhcp3-client]. Nobody can suggest where to read the extant number [ip address] for directory assistance [dns of the ISP]? Pardon the analogy [humour]. Thanks, ...
