Title:
Ubuntu 11.10 upgrade kills /etc/resolv.conf
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
My brawny workstation is both a server and a workstation, so I've had
to manually configure static IP, KVM-support, etc. I keep forgetting
that every time I upgrade Ubuntu, some of my network configuration
gets trashed by network-managers insistent disregard for the pre-
existing configuration files. /etc/resolv.conf seems to be the first
and most-obvious victim.
Typically, the solution is apt-get remove --purge network-manager. Every
time I upgrade, I seem to re-learn this
lesson. So this time, I tried to find a way to live with network-manager's
autocratic ways.
However, editing /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf to prepend proper DNS
nameservers (and to elide the request for dns nameservers to the local
dhcpd) did NOT convince network manager to stop truncating
/etc/resolv.conf upon either service network-manager restart or
reboot.
Googling uncovered other victims of network-manager being re-
introduced by an Ubuntu 11.10 upgrade. However, there still does not
seem to be anyway to get along with network-manager. I'm not keen on
deviating so much from the Ubuntu fold. I'd rather not apt-get
remove a standard application. From experience, I can predict that
this will just keep whacking me - upon each upgrade. Isn't there some
way to convince network-manager to respect manually-set networking
configuration files. I am deeply disturbed by the loss of
configuration file primacy. Surely the files should trump the 'app' -
and not the other way around. Yes?
