I saw this issue on a new 12.04LTS fresh install, not an upgrade. There was no /etc/resolv.conf symlink.
Followed the steps mentioned above: sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf and enabled the option to 'Prepare /etc/resolv.conf for dynamic updates'. resolvconf --enable-updates sudo reboot This created the symlink and now I see : ls -l /etc/resolv.conf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Jul 25 21:17 /etc/resolv.conf -> ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1000244 Title: resolv.conf not populated because /etc/resolv.conf symlink was not created To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/resolvconf/+bug/1000244/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
