The gateway is set directly from ifup (by calling 'ip route add default via ...'). But the resolv.conf entries are set by the /etc/network/if- up.d/000resolvconf script, which is only run if all other interface configuration succeeded, so if you're missing the dns that could just mean some other part of the interface setup failed (e.g. setting the gateway). > is there a way to check for a failure status code tied to ifup or resolvconf runs during startup? are you using upstart or systemd? For upstart look in the /var/log/upstart/network* log files, for systemd look in /var/log/syslog. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1628552 Title: on startup gateway & dns- options in /etc/network/interfaces are not always set To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifupdown/+bug/1628552/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
