[Bug 54115] Re: No DNS at computer start

[Marcos Dione]

I found what seems to be a bug in resolvconf. to specify static dns
servers for a netiface, you can add the following to
/etc/network/interfaces:

iface eth1 inet static
name faraway
address 200.69.231.1
netmask 255.255.255.252
broadcast   200.69.231.3
gateway 200.69.231.2
dns-nameserver  200.69.193.111 200.69.193.112 # this one

resolvconf is executed via /etc/network/if-up.d/000resolvconf when the
netiface is brought up, with some environment variables set up. within
those envvars there is IF_DNS_NAMESERVER, which has the value of the
dns-nameserver field there above. the problem is that /etc/network/if-
up.d/000resolvconf is checking for IF_DNS_NAMESERVERS, with a trailing
S, so it thinks there are no nameservers and acts accordingly.

I'm not sure if the bug is in resolvconf or in ifupdown, though.

Thank you man!

[Bug 54115] Re: No DNS at computer start

[Pierre Buard]

It is simply a service to update DNS. There is no need for it to run in
the background. Therefore it's launched on bootup in runlevel S. But
just to be sure, I installed it on one of my computer and guess what, no
more DNS ! I don't know about you but since it doesn't do me any good I
prefer to remove it rather than learn how to operate it (at least for
now).

Here is short explanation from  
:
runlevel S: the first runlevel in boot process. /etc/init.d/rcS script will be 
invoked to start and all the processes underneath /etc/rcS.d will be executed.
runlevel 1: the single user mode. All processes underneath /etc/rc1.d will be 
executed.
runlevel 2,3,4,5: in debain system, the multi-user env, may not may not include 
GUI. The same, processes under each of the corresponding dirs will be run.
runlevel 0: computer shutdown.
runlevel 6: computer reboot.

Alright, I got you way of thinking (or the way you
think I can solve my problem), but resolvconf does not
seems to be the problem, because it are not running on
the current runlevel (2).

But thanks!

[Bug 54115] Re: No DNS at computer start

[Pierre Buard]

I am sorry but all I can say is that on a DSL connection, behind a
router, with fixed IPs and DNS servers : my computers don't need this
software (Xubuntu had it, but Kubuntu didn't).

The description says that if you are using DHCP (be it dialup or a
direct connection), you need this package for DNS resolution.

You can test whether this package is essential without removing it. You simply 
need to prevent the execution of the service :
sudo chmod -x /etc/init.d/resolvconf

If after reboot you lost your connection then restore it :
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/resolvconf

In case it doesn't work, try disabling the program itself :
sudo chmod -x /sbin/resolvconf

My knowledge in this is essentially empirical so : it should work (tm)

I do have the resolvconf package, but I didn't update
my current kubuntu installation from any *ubuntu: My
installation was from an empty disk.

So, Do I have remove the resolvconf package?


Thanks!

Check if this package is installed : resolvconf.
It was present on a computer which had Xubuntu breezy and then was updated to 
dapper.
After removal, /etc/resolv.conf isn't overwritten anymore (which is were your 
DNS are stored).
