I'm having some trouble with my networkmanager on openSuse 11.2. I want it to get the DNS Server from DHCP, but it notices that I had another process modify it (dhcpcd to be exact) and it just won't overwrite it, resulting in an out of date DNS server to be used.

In previous openSUSE versions I was using WICD as network manager. I upgraded my openSUSE to 11.4 and resolved give a try to the NetworkManager. I can get network connection, but the dhcp doesn't update the /etc/resolv.conf, so I can't navigate because the dns isnt set.
I tried to reinstall all related packages (dhcp, dns and networkmanager) without success.
If I run dhcpcd the resolv.conf get updated, but dhclient doesn't do the same. It seems that's a dhclient script issues, but I don't know how to test.
I have an Ubuntu 10.04 server. It gets its IP address by DHCP (the router has a fixed reservation so it always gets the same one). However, it needs its nameserver to be itself, and not the DNS servers given out by the router. How can I make dhcp not overwrite resolve.conf?
(Yes I know I could just set a static IP. But I'm testing stuff out here, and want to know if it can be done without doing that.)
I just installed F10 from a Live download iso on a Sony VAIO laptop with an Intel PRO/Wireless LAN2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter. The linux driver is ipw2100 and functions without problems.
After the install I accepted the update downloads offer and downloaded somewhere around 170 updates. The kernel version is 2.6.27.19-170.2.35.fc10.i686.
I am using a Linksys WRT55AG as a DHCP server. Using NetworkManger it assigns IP addresses without incident.
My problem is that I can't get name resolution to function without manual intervention.
I can ping other wireless nodes on my network and the response to $ dig -q www.yahoo.com is: ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: REFUSED, id: 30153
The /etc/resolv.conf file contains no entry for 'nameserver=' and if I manually edit /etc/resolv.conf, it is overwritten on reboot or restarting the NetworkManager service. I am aware of /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/resolv.conf.
Additionally, in the var/log/messages file I can see that NetworkManager makes links between /etc/resolv.conf and the default version.
However, after either rebooting or restarting the NetworkManager service, if I manually enter a DNS address 192.168.1.1 (my wireless router) under the DNS tab of the system-config-network 1.5.95 application. This address does not persist after either rebooting or restarting NetworkManager.
If I disable NetworkManager, I can't get the WRT55AG to assign the wilreless adapter an IP address.
So the bottom line and my question is what do I need to do in order to simply boot and have wireless connectivity?
To what file does system-config-network 1.5.95 write the DNS address entered from it's GUI?
This continues a thread started in the applications forum:mc hangs temporarily when network is downmc (Midnight Commander) hangs on my desktop but not on my laptop. When I compared desktop and laptop configurations, I found the following differences:
/etc/hosts files:
Code:
Laptop: 127.0.0.2 linux-4xt8.site, linux-4xt8
[code]....
I cannot seem to find where the conf files for NetworkManager are stored in suse 11.3. I want to manually edit my IP address without using the gui.

Is there a way to stop network-manager from overwriting the values in /etc/resolv.conf ?seems the simplest is to write-protect it. chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf

My /etc/resolv.conf file is normally just set up to use Google's public DNS:
When I connect to the network at the university library, it totally overwrites my /etc/resolv.conf file to something like:
This is pretty annoying, so I tried comprimising by making a file with the school's domain and search entries plus the Google nameservers, then revoking write permission on the file. However, I couldn't access any domain name with this config on their network, so I reverted to using their nameservers. I keep all the school's entries commented out when I connect to my home network.
My ultimate question is what is actually overwriting the file? I suspect that my connecting through DHCP is responsible. Whatever it is, I'm pretty annoyed that no back up file was created.
I use my laptop both at home and at my job. At home it gives me the correct search line.
But when I am at the office I only get 1 search entry while if you boot in windows it gives you 3
(for example):
So this should be in /etc/resolv.conf search domain domain.com my.domain.com
It seems that this is not passed by the (Windows) dhcp server (Active Directory).
Is there any way that linux can detect depending on the network it is in that there are a few search domains added(for example like resolvconf does with ppp tunnels)?
While updating and upgrading, I got this at the command prompt:
Code: Select all ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
N or O : keep your currently-installed version
D : show the differences between the versions
Z : start a shell to examine the situation
The default action is to keep your current version.
I am writing a shell script that unzips a ZIP file into an existing hierarchy of files, potentially overwriting some of the files. The problem is that the unzip command asks for confirmation: replace jsp/extension/add-aspect.jsp? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename: y
This is unacceptable for a script.I need an option to force unzip to overwrite the files.I did not find in the man page nor with Google.
My Debian workstation is on a predominantly Windows network. It is resolving internet addresses (i.e. www.google.com, etc) just fine. However it's not resolving any of the address of machines on the local network and the windows machines do not resolve the linux machines address either. All machines (linux and windows) can access each other just fine via direct IP reference.
My /etc/resolv.conf file has the following IP addresses listed:
127.0.0.1
10.1.1.111
10.1.3.4
10.1.1.111 is a netgear VPN/router that is the primary router for the LAN and maintains a VPN to a remote office 10.1.3.4 is the IP address of the Windows Primary Domain control on which the DNS server is running. That server is at the remote office. The system acts like it is completely ignoring anything I put in the resolv.conf file. From the linux X server I'm using "Network Setting" utility to make changes to the network configuration. This appears to work fine for things like switch between DHCP and static IP.
I use Fedora 13 (minimal installation), ISC DHCP server 4.1.1-P1. I'm running Fedora 13 too on a separate machine (minimal installation) with ISC DHCPclient 4.1.1-P1. My goal is to do some IPv6 testing. When I use the DHCP client manually (dhclient -6 -timeout 5 -d -v eth0), the client retrieves and installs a dynamically assigned IPv6 address.
Additionally, the client gets 1 DNS resolver address and 1 DNS search list. The resolver address and DNS search list always get written into /etc/resolv.conf. Perfect, exactly what I need. But when I do a "service network restart" or restart my system (which should trigger the same, as far as I understood), the DNS resolver addr and the search list get written into /etc/resolv.conf.save and the /etc/resolv.conf stays as before. How can I change this behavior? I don't need the .save file, I just want to have /etc/resolv.conf replaced by the latest DNS information.
I'm setting up virtual dev environments and I want the hostname.domain to be something specific, eg- "barney.local". However my /etc/resolv.conf file keeps getting nuked because i'm using DHCP. I placed this into my dhclient.conf:
supersede domain-name "localhost"
supersede host-name "barney"
but it didn't help. I'm not sure where I'm going wrong. How can I still use DHCP but configure that virtual environment to see itself as barney.local?
How can I keep /etc/resolv.conf static ... as in preventing it from being changed by the network manager ... without actually disabling the network manager (so wireless users can get their wireless setup that includes IP address, but leave the resolver configuration as is)?

Maybe its set to be not written by anyone other than networkmanager ??
As you may well be aware the resolv.conf search appears to be limited to 6 domains. I need 7 One thing I noticed is that if you run nslookup on a short name that is in the 7th search it does work but ssh does not. I'm guessing that nslookup is actually reading the whole file and isn't limited.

I am having a situation where I do not have DNS server (the person who has that is not me) for a few websites which are running on a reverse proxy. I recently after having a long trouble shooting hours found that my proxy pass entries look as follows
Code:
ProxyPass /app1 http://192.168.1.3:8080/app1
ProxyPass / http://192.168.1.3
ProxyPassReverse /app1 http://192.168.1.3:8080/app1
ProxyPassReverse / http://192.168.1.3
If I use the entries as above then some one from internet is able to access the sites.But from within LAN people are unable to access it.
How ever if I use
Code:
ProxyPass /app1 http://site1.myserver.com:8080/app1
ProxyPass / http://site1.myserver.com
ProxyPassReverse /app1 http://site1.myserver.com:8080/app1
ProxyPassReverse / http://site1.myserver.com
then things work on LAN but from internet it is not accessible.What can be a solution in this case will putting things in resolv.conf do?
As I understand it, /etc/resolv.conf is rewritten at boot time by NetworkManager (a script?)I have a problem in the order the nameserver entries are written by my system (F13). This is:

View 6 Replies View RelatedI am using KVPNC (recommended by the VPN owner) on Ubuntu 9.10 using my Universities direct Ethernet connection.
I have downloaded all the .ovpn scripts to a directory. I have downloaded KVPNC from the repository (apparently for 9.10 you do not download from the KVPNC website).
I then use sudo kvpnc and select a server (since there are many based on the .ovpn files).I click connect and the script works and tells me I have a connection. See below for an example. All appears to work.
But when I actually load any Internet program e.g. Firefox it cannot find a website.This happens for all servers which have different locations around the world.When I disconnect KVPNC I still have no access. I have to remove the Ethernet cable before it works again.

I realise there are errors e.g. the /etc/resolv.conf must be a symlink but have tried doing this and still have exactly the same issues.
I'm using 9.10 Ubuntu Karmic 64-bit (but same thing happens on my 32 bit VM on same PC).
My /etc/resolf/conf file is not updated with DNS information on first boot. The DNS information is in the /etc/network/interfaces file.
The trick I have to do every time I reboot the PC is:
Code:
sudo ifdown eth0 && sudo ifup eth0
First off, why? Second how can I resolve this issue?
I have three NICs eth0 and 1 are normal LANs connected to the internet, but I choose eth0 as the primary. eth2 is a local private one. the DNS information from eth0 should be in the resolv.conf file but isn't. The file is empty at bootup, except for some comments instructing me not to edit this. After running the above sudo commands the file is properly updated and internet works.
Here's my /etc/network/interfaces file's contents:
Code:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
[Code]...
Unfortunately I have deleted with sudo the resolv.conf folder in /etc/. How can I write a new one? What files contains your resolv.conf folder?
