File /lib/systemd/system/systemd-resolved.service.d/resolvconf.conf of this version contains two commands prefixed with '+': # When resolved is in use, it must be brought up before we consider networking # available because otherwise there is a window where DNS resolution doesn't # work. [Unit] Before=network-online.target # tell resolvconf about resolved's builtin DNS server, so that DNS servers # picked up via networkd are respected when using resolvconf, and that software # like Chrome that does not do NSS (libnss-resolve) still gets proper DNS # resolution [Service] ExecStartPost=+/bin/sh -c '[ ! -e /run/resolvconf/enable-updates ] || echo "nameserver 127.0.0.53" | /sbin/resolvconf -a systemd-resolved' ExecStopPost=+/bin/sh -c '[ ! -e /run/resolvconf/enable-updates ] || /sbin/resolvconf -d systemd-resolved' Those two statements in section [Service] lead to the following two error messages in dmesg: [ 3.687475] systemd[1]: [/lib/systemd/system/systemd-resolved.service.d/resolvconf.conf:12] Executable path is not absolute, ignoring: +/bin/sh -c '[ ! -e /run/resolvconf/enable-updates ] || echo "nameserver 127.0.0.53" | /sbin/resolvconf -a systemd-resolved' [ 3.687614] systemd[1]: [/lib/systemd/system/systemd-resolved.service.d/resolvconf.conf:13] Executable path is not absolute, ignoring: +/bin/sh -c '[ ! -e /run/resolvconf/enable-updates ] || /sbin/resolvconf -d systemd-resolved' ** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: regression-proposed xenial -- 229-4ubuntu18: '+' command prefix does not work in ExecStart*= and ExecStop*= https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1704677 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
