avoid DNSMASQ making changes in resolv.conf












0















not able to find a workaround for the dnsmasq to not make changes in /etc/resolv.conf file.



editing the init.d/dnsmasq file is not a full option as not on all ubuntu version dnsmasq runs through init.d



hope you can help !

Problem is because Network Manager uses dynamically your /etc/resolv.conf with dnsmasq



Solution for you to change way how to resolve names. Try following



In /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf comment out the dns=dnsmasq



sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf



 [main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile,ofono
#dns=dnsmasq

no-auto-default=00:22:64:4E:6F:70,

[ifupdown]
managed=fals


and restart the NM service



sudo restart network-manager


With this /etc/resolv.conf is no longer dependant on resolvconf package and is updated based on the DNS entries of each connection in the Network Manager



Also you can add nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf. If you not set dns in NM per connection this will be used



sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf



nameserver 8.8.4.4
nameserver 8.8.8.8


Edit One



Stop the service resolvconf



sudo service resolvconf stop


disable it



update-rc.d resolvconf disable


disable resolvconf to overwrite resolv.conf



create /etc/init/resolvconf.override with single line manual



echo 'manual' | sudo tee /etc/init/resolvconf.override


remove symbolic link /etc/resolv.conf



rm /etc/resolv.conf


create resolv.conf with static dns entry



echo "namserver x.x.x.x." > /etc/resolv.conf

This may or may not solve your problem, but I was having a similar problem where dnsmasq (well, actually the combo of dnsmasq and resolvconf) was rewriting my /etc/resolv.conf file and ignoring the dns-nameservers options that I set in /etc/network/interfaces.



What the problem turned out to be was that resolvconf would call dnsmasq to update the nameserver entries in resolv.conf, and then it seems that it would quit after that.



I got it to keep the dns-nameservers entries from /etc/network/interfaces by moving my interface (p+([0-9])p+([0-9])?(_+([0-9]))* in my case) to before the "lo.dnsmasq" entry in /etc/resolvconf/interface-order. So now instead of getting "nameserver 127.0.0.1" as the first, last, and only nameserver entry in /etc/resolv.conf, I get




nameserver <ipaddr.frometc.network.interfaces>
nameserver <another.frometc.network.interfaces>
nameserver 127.0.0.1
search <domains from /etc/network/interfaces>



So now it seems that resolvconf runs, checks the interface order, and adds the entries from /etc/network/interfaces corresponding to the entries above "lo.dnsmasq", then calls a dnsmasq process to add those to the file, but that somehow works not quite right and it ignores any interfaces after that.



When I was trying to figure this out I searched, to no avail, about why dnsmasq was ignoring /etc/network/interfaces. (I was certain that dnsmasq was involved because this happened shortly after I installed dnsmasq) I am not sure if that solves your problem, but to me it seemed a little bit cleaner than just removing resolvconf.

    nameserver <ipaddr.frometc.network.interfaces>
    nameserver <another.frometc.network.interfaces>
    nameserver 127.0.0.1
    search <domains from /etc/network/interfaces>



    So now it seems that resolvconf runs, checks the interface order, and adds the entries from /etc/network/interfaces corresponding to the entries above "lo.dnsmasq", then calls a dnsmasq process to add those to the file, but that somehow works not quite right and it ignores any interfaces after that.



    When I was trying to figure this out I searched, to no avail, about why dnsmasq was ignoring /etc/network/interfaces. (I was certain that dnsmasq was involved because this happened shortly after I installed dnsmasq) I am not sure if that solves your problem, but to me it seemed a little bit cleaner than just removing resolvconf.

      This may or may not solve your problem, but I was having a similar problem where dnsmasq (well, actually the combo of dnsmasq and resolvconf) was rewriting my /etc/resolv.conf file and ignoring the dns-nameservers options that I set in /etc/network/interfaces.



      What the problem turned out to be was that resolvconf would call dnsmasq to update the nameserver entries in resolv.conf, and then it seems that it would quit after that.



      I got it to keep the dns-nameservers entries from /etc/network/interfaces by moving my interface (p+([0-9])p+([0-9])?(_+([0-9]))* in my case) to before the "lo.dnsmasq" entry in /etc/resolvconf/interface-order. So now instead of getting "nameserver 127.0.0.1" as the first, last, and only nameserver entry in /etc/resolv.conf, I get




      nameserver <ipaddr.frometc.network.interfaces>
      nameserver <another.frometc.network.interfaces>
      nameserver 127.0.0.1
      search <domains from /etc/network/interfaces>
