Public bug reported:
I have seen reports of this during upgrades from 11.10 to 12.04, but I
am seeing this with a fresh install of Ubuntu 12.04.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Install a new 12.04 server installation
2) Edit /etc/network/interfaces and set:
iface eth0 inet dhcp to static, and enter address, netmask, gateway,
network, broadcast
3) Reboot
4) cat /etc/resolve.conf results in an empty file, aside from the warning about
the file being auto-generated
There are only two workarounds for this that I've found:
1) Edit /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head and add the desired settings to the
bottom of the file.
- OR -
2) Disable the resolvconf daemon from startup and setup /etc/resolv.conf as
usual.
Sorry if this is already a known issue from a FRESH install, but I was
only able to find references to this problem in relation to upgrades.
