I get the exact same behavior on the Kubuntu Precise desktop beta, though bind9 is not installed. I end up with the resolv.conf posted by the OP with 127.0.0.1 as the nameserver. I cannot override this even with static DNS settings in Kubuntu's network configuration. When the network starts, the manager ignores both the DNS settings on my DHCP- serving router and any static nameserver and search list entries I provide via network configuration.
The notion that bind9 would be installed by default on ordinary client machines is ludicrous. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/933723 Title: resolvconf creating bogus resolv.conf file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bind9/+bug/933723/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
