I've begun a new thread to add some back-story to my "Which
resolv.conf file?" inquiry. *Thanks* to all who have chimed in.
nb. Judah: If "DE" means "desktop environment" then I don't
think I have one. I run the minimalist icewm, and I do not have
network manager installed.
I do not want to turn off all rewriting of my resolv.conf file
since my vpn needs to do that. And, I have no concept about how
dhcp now might enter into the picture. I am an older citizen and
have not kept up.
I posted this to my initial thread on this topic:
--snip--
$ cat /etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf
# Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by
r$
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE
OVERWR$
nameserver aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 127.0.0.53
--snip--
This is how this file looks when I am connected to my vpn, hence
the obfuscation.
What I want to do is get rid of the google 8.8.8.8 and replace
it with a static nameserver suggested by my vpn.
I welcome all of your feedback (well, within certain bounds of
course. <g>).
Thank you
