Public bug reported: The default /etc/resolv.conf contains the following heading:
# 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 Which is great, but it doesn't tell users where they *should* be making their changes. That location I assume should be: /etc/network/interfaces With the format: dns-nameservers x.x.x.x dns-nameservers x.x.x.x But we should imho point to that file and have a commented out example. Currently running 12.04 resolvconf version 1.63ubuntu11 ** Affects: resolvconf (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1000728 Title: /etc/resolv.conf is autogenerated but the comments in the file don't say where from To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/resolvconf/+bug/1000728/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
