I can confirm the bug. The resolvconf package is installed and the network-manager package is not.
Relevant part of /etc/network/interfaces: ---- # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 130.225.51.87 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 130.225.51.0 broadcast 130.225.51.255 gateway 130.225.51.1 # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed dns-nameservers 130.225.51.16 130.225.51.19 130.225.51.99 dns-search es.aau.dk ---- After boot /etc/resolv.conf contains: ----- # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN ----- Doing 'ifdown eth0' followed by 'ifup eth0' will do the right thing. Conclusion: ========= The resolvconf package works fine if the interface is brought up via the command line, but during boot it writes a useless /etc/resolv.conf file. The ifup command takes a long time to complete which may hint at further problems. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/911241 Title: resolvconf ignoring dns-nameservers, dns-search in iface-stanzas To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/resolvconf/+bug/911241/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
