Title:
network-manager loses DNS configuration in resolv.conf when switching
connection types
Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: network-manager
When changing network connection types from UMTS ("Mobile Broadband")
to Ethernet by first establishing the new connection and then dropping
the other connection, network-manager will overwrite /etc/resolv.conf
with a version that does not include any DNS servers.
== Steps to reproduce ==
0. Prerequisites: Laptop with UMTS and Ethernet connections, available UMTS
connection details, available Ethernet connection.
1. Disconnect all network interfaces.
2. Connect to the UMTS connection (in the network-manager indicator).
3. Look at /etc/resolv.conf
4. Connect to the Ethernet connection (e.g. physically plug in the Ethernet
cable).
5. Look at /etc/resolv.conf
6. Disconnect the UMTS connection (in the network-manager indicator).
7. Look at /etc/resolv.conf
== Actual results ==
Step 3 shows the DNS servers of the UMTS network. Step 5 shows both the DNS
servers of the Ethernet (listed first) and UMTS connections. Step 7 shows no
DNS servers:
--snip
# Generated by NetworkManager
search ploetzli.ch
--snap
Since no DNS servers are entered in /etc/resolv.conf, name resolution
is non-functional and can only be restored by disconnecting and
reconnecting the Ethernet connection.
== Expected results ==
Step 7 should show the DNS server of the Ethernet connection.
