http://ubuntuforums.org – 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. Also, i have already tryd to chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf and it sends back "chattr: Operation not supported while reading flags on /etc/resolv.conf" Anyone know how to fix this? (Hardware)

change resolv.conf 3 years 23 weeks ago

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 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.

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 19 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..

Code: # vi /etc/resolv.conf   # Generated by NetworkMana

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) .

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'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.

Regenerating resolv.conf 14 weeks 2 days ago

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and I managed to stomp on my /etc/resolv.conf file. I believe this is the cause of me getting

ping: unknown host www.google.com

It says resolv.conf is auto generated but I cannot figure out how to regenerate this file back to its previous default settings. I've checked many forums and the man files and I am stuck.

Appreciate any help.

add a line to resolv.conf 32 weeks 2 days ago

Hi,

I want to add a search domain name in the beginning of /etc/resolv.conf.

If already some '#' symbols are there in the beginning I want to add it below # the search domain which I want to add, the example search domain is "search xxxx.com"

So the resolv.conf should be as shown below

cat /etc/resolv.conf #domain name entries search xxxx.com 1.2.1.33 aaaaa aaaa.com 1.2.3.22 mmm mmm
