Thank you Timothy, I appreciate the advice and the msg is tagged FFR, but I've no clue as to the "proper" way to edit that. Making resolv.conf immutable seems to be the way to permanently insulate me from NM's broken idea of whats right. Gateway is set in the edit pulldown that opens from the status icon at the top right corner of the screen. Which works but upsets me because it has no "about" info anyplace to identify the src of that whole shebang. And as I explained in another post, I can't file bugzilla stuff. And I am not seeing anything indicating there is a way to fix that. IOW, nobody cares.
[ipv6] addr-gen-mode=stable-privacy method=disabled [proxy] ======== All of which now looks totally legit once /etc/resolv.conf was made immutable. As an aside, I have yet to see a complaint from modern NM when it finds that file cannot be changed. When it was new, many generations ago, it had a cow quite regularly. Then the only way to clean up the logs was to rm the executable. It, when new, was not removable by apt as it took the rest of the system with it. So I've always looked at NM as something looking for a problem I didn't have. A Karen to be removed by whatever means worked. A root rm usually solved it all. So for me, its still, in the year of our lord 2023, a PITA. A hosts file for local lookups, with anything not found there forwarded to my ISP's dns server is all I've ever needed. And it has not changed in 25 years. To me, dhcp is a total waste of cpu cycles. > > Gene has no DHCP server, so it should be method=manual.
