[Bug 96260] Re: n-m-openvpn erases resolv.conf info

Hi network-manager bug wranglers, this bug report has a patch which lets named-manager refuse to update resolv.conf if the update will result in no nameservers being written to `/etc/resolv.conf' (which could happen with openvpn if no DNS server is pushed by the remote endpoint). Does it look sane

I can confirm this bug. I tried the patch and it fixes the problem. It's easy to build but if you don't want to bother, I've posted a binary: http://www.ppckernel.org/~tobias/ubuntu/feisty/ Just download it and run sudo dpkg -i network- manager_0.6.4-6ubuntu7_i386.deb Thanks for the fix. -- n

Re: [Bug 96260] Re: n-m-openvpn erases resolv.conf info

IIRC the bug is that the openvpn plugin sends an empty list of name servers and network-manager accepts that and deletes the current list. What needs to be done (I think) is to change network-manager to not do anything if it receives an empty list of name servers. -- Soren Hansen Ubuntu Server Te

[Bug 96260] Re: n-m-openvpn erases resolv.conf info

You are correct. I made a quick assumption. What is happening is that network-manager-openvpn (nm-openvpn-service.c) is putting a message onto DBUS of type NM_DBUS_VPN_SIGNAL_IP4_CONFIG. That causes nm-vpn-service.c to call nm_ip4_config_add_nameserver(). Seems like all is as it should be in networ

[Bug 96260] Re: n-m-openvpn erases resolv.conf info

If you invoke openvpn manually, it doesn't modify resolv.conf, so I'm somewhat sceptical this is what is occurring in this case. -- n-m-openvpn erases resolv.conf info https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/96260 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bu

[Bug 96260] Re: n-m-openvpn erases resolv.conf info

Word to the wise: I think this bug is connected to an underlying lack of control of DNS settings by network-manager. It seems like the daemons NM invokes (openvpn, dhcp3, etc.) modify resolv.conf on their own accord in a way that's not controlled by or compatible with NM. For example, see

[Bug 96260] Re: n-m-openvpn erases resolv.conf info

Hi all, I have writen a fix for this bug. I think the problem isn't in the openvpn plugin, because it only told networkmanger that there is no nameserver. I think the problem is that networkmanger write a resolv.conf with no nameserver when activating a device. So that's the reason why my patch

I can confirm this also on the Feisty final version. Our university net uses openvpn for the whole transmission, but as the dns information is already set by the wlan connection it doesn't seem to retransmit them. In any case finally the resolv.conf is overwritten with an empty file. -- n-m-op
