ah, ok, so you are not using systemd-networkd then, ok that makes sense since you upgraded from pre-bionic where ifupdown/resolvconf are the default. In bionic they have been replaced with just systemd-networkd (and netplan for configuration) but upgrades keep ifupdown/resolvconf. > So it seems to that the issue is really that systemd-resolve is adding the > options > to resolv.conf when it shouldn't interfere no - systemd-resolved does not add anything to the /etc/resolv.conf file, it *only* sets up its privately-managed files, under /run/systemd/resolve/. If /etc/resolv.conf is symlinked to either the stub or normal systemd-resolved file, then it will pick up all systemd- resolved's config (since it's just a symlink, of course) but systemd won't edit an existing /etc/resolv.conf. > systemd-resolve isn't checking /etc/network/interfaces for dns- nameservers.... it never does. e/n/i is 100% ifupdown, completely separate from systemd-networkd. What's happening here is resolvconf has a systemd service that pulls "original" config from systemd-resolved: $ cat /lib/systemd/system/resolvconf-pull-resolved.service [Unit] ConditionPathExists=/run/resolvconf/enable-updates ConditionFileIsExecutable=/sbin/resolvconf [Service] Type=oneshot ExecStart=+-/bin/sh -c 'cat /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf | /sbin/resolvconf -a systemd-resolved' This service is triggered whenever the systemd-resolved stub conf file changes: $ cat /lib/systemd/system/resolvconf-pull-resolved.path [Path] PathChanged=/run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf PathExists=/run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf [Install] WantedBy=systemd-resolved.service This service is just wrong; the stub-resolv.conf file is *strictly* for use as a /etc/resolv.conf symlink when systemd-resolved is managing the system's dns. There is another file, /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf, that is intended for use by other local applications that control the system's dns but also want to know about any dns info that systemd-resolved might know about; this file leaves out the local stub resolver's address (127.0.0.53) and the edns0 option. As a temporary workaround until resolvconf can be fixed, can you try reinstalling resolvconf, and then disable it from pulling in the systemd-resolved stub configuration: $ sudo apt install resolvconf $ sudo systemctl disable resolvconf-pull-resolved.path $ sudo systemctl disable resolvconf-pull-resolved.service $ sudo reboot After reboot, you should then have a /etc/resolv.conf that does not contain the 127.0.0.53 local stub resolver nor the edns0 option. Let me know if that works.

This is on a home network, with router set as dns proxy for external wan, not using NetworkManager Deleting the option on live system results in the issue immediately disappearing, but on reboot it is added back in (by systemd-resolve ?) I cannot find any option to prevent this being added, so presumably it is hard-coded in systemd following the update? systemd: Installed: 237-3ubuntu10.13 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1817903/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
