How to force a rebuild of resolv.conf

http://askubuntu.com – Sorry I researched (googling) for about 45 minutes, tried everything I could think of (see below) but didn't find the answer. After updating /etc/networking/interfaces with something very similar to below, I could not get /etc/resolv.conf to update. I tried (as root) resolver -u, service networking restart but they didn't work. I also fixed the symlink for resolv.conf and tried resolver -u again. Finally in frustration I rebooted, which did fix the problem by rebuilding /etc/resolv.conf. Ubuntu 12.04, 64bit server, all the latest patches installed. Please let me know the correct way.

Stories similar to How to force a rebuild of resolv.conf

I have Gentoo Linux amd64 installed on one of my computers. I have a static IP configured at /etc/conf.d/net:

auto_eth0="true" config_eth0="192.168.1.2/24" routes_eth0="default via 192.168.1.1" enable_ipv6_eth0="false"

I manually edited /etc/resolv.conf and added google dns servers. the problem is that whenever I restart my server /etc/resolv.conf gets wiped out.

My /etc/resolv.conf constantly get a mysterious entry, i run a home network with ipv6 provided by ravd, the interface is auto-configured by Network manager (all name server lookups are lost when this line is first in my /etc/resolv.conf) .

Hello, im running server 12.4 LTS on an old pc. I can get the static ip working after i add the "nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" to /etc/resolv.conf But after a reboot my resolv.conf file is over written and my internet connecgion does not work. I can still ssh to it, change the resolv.conf file and restart my interfaces but id rather it work from boot up.

I have set up my own bind9 DNS server and put into my /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 127.0.0.1 domain mydomain.local

and put the same content into /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head

still the dns fails once in a while and additional information (the ones from my hoster) are magically written into the etc/resolv.conf. Am I missing any service how manages this file and conflicts with bind9?

Issue on resolv.conf 18 weeks 2 days ago

Hi all, :(

I am facing issue while I have updated in resolv.conf, after nework service restart, it was automatically deleted IP from resolv.conf file. Could you please let me know what is the reason resolv.conf deleted any IP which I have manually updated, but it store only my router IP permanently.

Advance thanks for helping..

hi , can anybody suggest me how can i change the context of /etc/resolv.conf from user mode i try make a script

Code: sudo echo "nameserver=10.1.1.1" > /etc/resolv.conf but i get Quote:

permission denied for file /etc/resolv.conf

I'm pxe booting a node (Ubuntu 11.10). The image of the node is created with debootstrap. Works great. Everything is loaded. When I login to the node I see that /etc/resolv.conf is empty. In the base image it's empty also but I expected the ubuntu boot process to fill it with a nameserver.

When, on the node, I do sudo service networkinging {start,restart} nothing changes to etc/resolv.conf.

I'm curious as to whether there's a mechanism to adjust the Windows client resolver timeout in the same manner that's possible with the "timeout" option in the Linux /etc/resolv.conf file.

For example, my resolv.conf often looks like:

search abc123.net options timeout 1 nameserver 172.16.2.14 nameserver 172.16.2.18 nameserver 172.16.4.10

My timeout is 1 second between name server attempts. How

When I switch between different networks with different dhcp servers my resolv.conf doesn't change (other settings like ip ant gw become new). Workaround is to remove resolv.conf and run dhclient manually. How to fix it permanent?
