Public bug reported: This has happened a number of times both with some laptops. When they get up resolv.conf contains this:
$ cat /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 search langfeldt.net This is nowhere like right and makes it impossible to get name- resolution. When I remove resolvconf everything works right. This is right: $ cat /etc/resolv.conf # Generated by NetworkManager domain langfeldt.net search langfeldt.net nameserver 192.168.1.1 (except that domain and search should not appear in the same resolv.conf file). # apt-cache policy resolvconf resolvconf: Installed: (none) Candidate: 1.63ubuntu11 Version table: 1.63ubuntu11 0 500 http://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: resolvconf (not installed) ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-24.37-generic 3.2.14 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-24-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun May 20 11:00:20 2012 ProcEnviron: LANGUAGE= TERM=xterm LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: resolvconf UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-05-20 (0 days ago) ** Affects: resolvconf (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug precise -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1001881 Title: resolvconf incorrectly configures resolv.conf To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/resolvconf/+bug/1001881/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
