Thanks again for the help.... Removed resolvconf: sudo apt remove resolvconf
reboot as expected now /etc/resolv.conf is linked to run/systemd/sub-resolv.conf and contains only: nameserver 127.0.0.53 options edns0 BUT now I cannot connect to anything, nslookup, ping fails, etc. $ ping google.com ping: google.com: Temporary failure in name resolution and $ systemd-resolve --status does not list any dns So I made a guess and added DNS=192.168.2.1 to /etc/systemd/resolved.conf $ sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved now $ systemd-resolve --status lists dns as 192.168.2.1 and all is good... Additional info: I do not use NetworkManager as I use fixed ip, so the ip, etc. and dns is/was specified in /etc/network/interfaces Seems resolvconf was detecting this and adding the dns to resolv.conf, but systemd-resolve is not looking or detecting ? So it seems to that the issue is really that systemd-resolve is adding the options to resolv.conf when it shouldn't interfere because resolvconf is in charge of it OR that systemd-resolve isn't checking /etc/network/interfaces for dns-nameservers.... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1817903 Title: systemd-resolve appends "options edns0" to resolv.conf To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1817903/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
