@Thomas: Yes, /etc/resolv.conf was simply non-existent before I created the symlink, at least in Quantal. I unfortunately don't know whether it was there in Precise and somehow ended up getting removed on upgrade or was simply never there to begin with (for the reasons that you mentioned; even if it wasn't there in Precise, DNS still would have worked, so I wouldn't have noticed). And no, I have no idea why it wasn't there. :) I didn't do anything that ought to have removed it, AFAIK!
If the absence of an /etc/resolv.conf file/symlink is widespread, then I think your warning about a number of bug reports is quite right, unless something is done to make sure that such a file/link is in place when Quantal goes official. Now, I suppose it's possible that some unique quirk happened on my machine to either remove /etc/resolv.conf or prevent it from being created in the first place, but I think it's unlikely; I literally had 12.04 on the system for about 3-4 hours at the most, and I wasn't doing any serious tinkering with it (or much of anything with it at all), so this was pretty much a vanilla install and vanilla upgrade. I had Ubuntu Tweak installed from its PPA, but I had used it to make only some minor cosmetic changes, and I also had the Faenza icon theme installed from its PPA. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1051348 Title: No resolving after upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 beta To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1051348/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
