resolv.conf keeps overwriting

[Lucky75]

Yeah, so...I finally got chattr to work, but my resolv.conf still changed back.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks!

This problem can be now fixed by removing the resolvconf package, using this command:

sudo apt-get remove resolvconf

Then add your nameservers to resolv.conf file, save it, then reboot your system.

Wait. Doesn't our systems need the resolvconf package? Don't applications and scripts use this?

Or am I missing something?

From what I've read/seen - resolvconf is responsible for updating resolv.conf. I've seen problems fixed by adding it - and others by removing it. If memory still works, mkormendy fixed a problem recently by removing it.

I only way I've ever solved this is to remove network-manager (which IMO is one of the worst things ever released) and configure your network manually.

To be fair - network manager seems to work OK on my laptop where I use wireless most of the time, but on a desktop with hardwired network and multiple NIC's it's way more trouble than it's worth. In fact, I've never gotten it to work correctly and it doesn't configure port aggregation at all.

The file to edit is "/etc/network/interfaces"

something like...

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.1.100
gateway 192.168.1.1
nameserver 192.168.1.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
