Hey Thomas - Okay, I just installed Linux Mint 14 64-bit KDE. (I was running Mint 13 KDE LTS.) Immediately after the install the first thing I did was run the following: bob@elaterite ~ $ ls -l /etc/resolv.conf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Dec 23 14:58 /etc/resolv.conf - ../var/run/resolvconf/resolv.conf bob@elaterite ~ $ ls -l /run/resolvconf total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 23 15:09 enable-updates drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 60 Dec 23 15:09 interface -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 310 Dec 23 15:09 resolv.conf bob@elaterite ~ $ ls -l /run/resolvconf/interface total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21 Dec 23 15:09 NetworkManager bob@elaterite ~ $ Then I did a full upgrade with apt-get and it reported no resolv error.

[Bug 1000244] Re: /etc/resolv.conf symlink does not exist after initial installation of resolvconf package
I wrote that. The last sentence is a bit ugly but I was trying to keep it short. More explicit would have been the following. After a typical installation of Ubuntu 12.04, /etc/resolv.conf is a symbolic link to ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf. If, at the time the machine is upgraded to Ubuntu 12.10, /etc/resolv.conf is absent or is a static file instead of the aforementioned symbolic link then, if the administrator wants software running on the machine to continue to make use of the NetworkManager-controlled nameserver then he or she will have to restore the symbolic link at /etc/resolv.conf such that it once again points to ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf. An easy way to do this is to run sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf and to agree when asked if the symbolic link should be created. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1000244 Title: /etc/resolv.conf symlink does not exist after initial installation of resolvconf package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/resolvconf/+bug/1000244/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1000244] Re: /etc/resolv.conf symlink does not exist after initial installation of resolvconf package
Thanks for the info — very helpful.
Looking at the apt logs I see an upgrade done at 2012-12-03 18:23:13.
Do I understand correctly that resolvconf worked correctly before this
upgrade? Thus /etc/resolv.conf was a symbolic link to
../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf before the upgrade?
During the upgrade, resolvconf upgrades without error messages, but at
the end when resolvconf is triggered to do an update it reports that the
symlink /etc/resolv.conf is missing. So probably some program or package
maintainer script stomped on /etc/resolv.conf. Most likely the package
or program in question is one that is not included in the default
install on Ubuntu, otherwise we'd have many more reports of the problem.
Browsing through I see that you upgrade kppp. The source package for
this is kdenetwork. Grepping through the source code of that I find zero
references to resolvconf and one code passage (in kppp) where
/etc/resolv.conf is written to. So this appears to be a program that has
not yet been made resolvconf-compatible.
kppp/connect.cpp 1419
// Replace the DNS domain entry in the /etc/resolv.conf file and
// disable the nameserver entries if option is enabled
void add_domain(const QString domain) {
Are you using kppp?

Thomas - Both installs began with fresh ISOs of Linux Mint 13, 64bit KDE. After the initial install I have no idea if there were any errors as I didn't bother to look at the install logs. The only time I've noted the resolvconf error was doing the requisite post install package upgrades, which I always do via Apt in a terminal, not with the update manager GUI.

I had interpreted your comment #85 as meaning that the problem appeared when you upgraded, but it turns out that we can't be sure that the problem wasn't there from the beginning. I would guess, then, that the problem was there at the beginning, after installation, because we have seen other examples of faulty images; see my comment #82. dpkg-reconfiguring resolvconf is indeed the right way to fix the problem of /etc/resolv.conf not having been symlinked to ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1000244 Title: /etc/resolv.conf symlink does not exist after initial installation of resolvconf package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/resolvconf/+bug/1000244/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1000244] Re: /etc/resolv.conf symlink does not exist after initial installation of resolvconf package
@Bob: Thanks for the information. Interesting case. * /etc/resolv.conf is not a symbolic link to ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf * Updates are not enabled * A postponed update has been scheduled * Nothing has been stored in the interfaces database I can only guess how this set of conditions came about. One possibility is that the postinst failed to run or aborted early and then resolvconf -u was run by something. It would be nice if we knew the (original) answer to the linkify- resolvconf debconf question; then we could easily rule out the possibility that linkification (that is, creation of the symbolic link /etc/resolv.conf - ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf) failed to occur because the answer was negative. But it is impossible to know this after the fact since the Ubuntu version of the postinst overwrites the original answer. This should be fixed. I'll file a separate report about this. Another source of uncertainty is the invoke-rc.d resolvconf start code added to the beginning of the postinst by dh_installinit. In the Debian version of the package, dh_installinit is run with the --no-start option and actions equivalent to invoke-rc.d resolvconf start are performed later in the postinst after necessary preparation has been done. That works correctly. While converting from sysvinit to Upstart the Ubuntu developers replaced --no-start with the -r option but a few things have gone wrong in the process. First, the #DEBHELPER# token is in the wrong place. It should be placed after the postinst code that linkifies and initializes the database. Hmm. This bug was fixed at one point as indicated by the following changelog entry - Move the #DEBHELPER# token in debian/postinst to after the resolv.conf symlink is set, so the init script can actually start (since it expects /etc/resolv.conf to be a symlink). but the current version has the #DEBHELPER# token back up at the top of the file. I will file a separate report about this. Second, the comment in the postinst still says that --no-start is used. I will mention this in the latter report. Third, dh_installinit inserts code in the postinst that does invoke-rc.d resolvconf start || exit $? This calls invoke-rc.d which calls /etc/init.d/resolvconf which is /lib/init/upstart-job which runs resolvconf --enable-updates which runs the resolvconf update scripts. If any of the scripts returns an error then the postinst exits at the line quoted above — before linkification has been done. This is very undesirable. This would also be fixed if the #DEBCONF# token were in the right place, at the bottom of the postinst. So to conclude, I can only guess about what happened in your case but your information has led to the discovery of at least one bug that might well be involved. :) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1000244 Title: /etc/resolv.conf symlink does not exist after initial installation of resolvconf package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/resolvconf/+bug/1000244/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1000244] Re: /etc/resolv.conf symlink does not exist after initial installation of resolvconf package
Cerin, in your earlier comment (#75) you posted the results of several commands. The content of /etc/resolv.conf was incorrect. It was: # Generated by NetworkManager domain home search home nameserver 127.0.0.1 If this file had been generated by resolvconf, it would have begun with the contents of /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head and not with the comment # Generated by NetworkManager. Furthermore, resolvconf never writes a domain line. Comparing with what you describe as the correct contents, the domain and search lines are also incorrect, listing home instead of mynetwork. In the later comment (#77) you say that /etc/resolv.conf contains # Generated by NetworkManager domain mynetwork search mynetwork nameserver 127.0.0.1 Although the domain and search lines are now correct, the content is still not what resolvconf generates, so there is still something amiss. It appears as if NetworkManager is overwriting /etc/resolv.conf. (I say appears because some other program or script could be copying from a resolv.conf that was once generated by NM.) But NetworkManager also calls resolvconf, as evidenced by the fact that /run/resolvconf/interface/NetworkManager exists and has the same creation date and time as /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf. Accordingly, in the log file WifiSyslog.txt you posted originally we see the following. May 16 09:42:03 coronis NetworkManager[22975]: info (eth2): writing resolv.conf to /sbin/resolvconf Looking in the network-manager source code I see what is most likely the cause of the problem. The code in src/dns-manager/nm-dns-manager.c is essentially the following. success = dispatch_resolvconf (domain, searches, nameservers, iface, error); if (success == FALSE) success = update_resolv_conf (domain, searches, nameservers, iface, error); With this code, if resolvconf returns nonzero for any reason then NetworkManager writes its output directly to (the target of) /etc/resolv.conf. This is wrong. I already wrote about this issue ten months ago. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network- manager/+bug/324233/comments/30 Although the most serious of the several problems I discussed there have been fixed in Quantal, the problem remains that NetworkManager does not correctly handle a nonzero exit status returned by resolvconf. When resolvconf runs if may or may not return an error. For example, if some update.d hook script returns a nonzero status then that status is returned. But as NetworkManager is currently coded, if resolvconf returns an error for any reason then NM writes its nameserver information directly to /etc/resolv.conf. That NM behavior dates from the time that resolvconf was an optional package in universe which returned nonzero status to indicate that /etc/resolv.conf wasn't a symbolic link, and the NetworkManager maintainers wanted to avoid leaving the user without a resolv.conf at all costs. The behavior was inappropriate then (because it failed to distinguish between an absent symlink and runtime errors) and is more inappropriate now. The appropriate behavior for NetworkManager is: IF resolvconf is installed as evidenced by the presence of the file /sbin/resolvconf THEN send nameserver information to /sbin/resolvconf ELSE write the nameserver information directly to (the target of) /etc/resolv.conf. I will file a new bug report requesting that this finally be implemented. In the short term, though, Cerin, you should find out why resolvconf returns a nonzero status (... assuming it does and that this is the cause of your problem) and fix the underlying problem that causes it to do so. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1000244 Title: /etc/resolv.conf symlink does not exist after initial installation of resolvconf package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/resolvconf/+bug/1000244/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1000244] Re: /etc/resolv.conf symlink does not exist after initial installation of resolvconf package
@Solomon: Linode tech support has told me that Linode intentionally removed the /etc/resolv.conf symlink. By default, all of their distribution templates use DHCP to obtain the IPv4 address on the first boot; dhclient is configured to write out a valid resolv.conf file at /etc/resolv.conf. That's it. Was the only problem you had the fact that you got an error message? If so then the problem is only the word Error which should have been Warning; and this problem has already been fixed in Quantal. In more detail: In Precise, /sbin/resolvconf aborted with an error message resolvconf: Error: /etc/resolv.conf isn't a symlink, not doing anything. if /etc/resolv.conf was not a symlink. In Quantal /sbin/resolvconf doesn't print that message and does not abort. However, unless you set REPORT_ABSENT_SYMLINK=no in /etc/default/resolvconf, the warning message /etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc: Warning: /etc/resolv.conf is not a symbolic link to /run/resolvconf/resolv.conf gets printed by the resolvconf update script /etc/resolvconf/update.d/libc. So an admin who wants to eliminate the /etc/resolv.conf symlink and keep resolvconf installed will also have to set REPORT_ABSENT_SYMLINK=no in order to silence the unwanted warning message. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1000244 Title: /etc/resolv.conf symlink does not exist after initial installation of resolvconf package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/resolvconf/+bug/1000244/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

An issue I've noticed is that `sudo dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf` doesn't always fix the issue, because, as the program notes, a reboot is sometimes required to actually refresh the cached dns info. This makes using this on a laptop occasionally frustrating when traveling between wifi hotspots or resuming after a suspend, because you either have to manually edit your /etc/resolv.conf or reboot if you don't know your local nameserver IP. I've gotten in the habit of manually recording the domain/search/nameserver fields of all the networks I typically used, so that if resolvconf locks up, I can quickly fix it.

[Bug 1000244] Re: /etc/resolv.conf symlink does not exist after initial installation of resolvconf package
What Toby and Bendi report is similar to what has been reported at (Linux Mint) bug #1004421. There people say that doing dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf and agreeing to linkify suffices to fix the problem. Toby has the Cisco AnyConnect client installed. The submitter of bug #1002783 (a duplicate of #1004421) has the Juniper Network Connect VPN client. I haven't looked, but it wouldn't surprise me if these clients delete the /etc/resolv.conf symlink at some point. Bendi, however, has vpnc. I have looked at the vpnc scripts and can't find anything in there that would delete the symlink. Did Cerin, pdf, Louis, ubck and peterlauri all have one or more of these VPN clients installed? I doubt it. Probably there is more than one thing out there that's clobbering /etc/resolv.conf. Can anyone *reproduce* the bug, installation after installation? If so, please let us know, then we can go a-hunting. E.g., Bendi, if you can reproduce the bug then I'll ask you to repeat the installation but to omit vpnc. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1000244 Title: /etc/resolv.conf symlink does not exist after initial installation of resolvconf package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/resolvconf/+bug/1000244/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1000244] Re: /etc/resolv.conf symlink does not exist after initial installation of resolvconf package
Yes, the contents of my /etc/resolv.conf is the same as /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/original I'm pretty sure I didn't manually answer any questions about resolv.conf when setting things up. I did a standard linux mint install and then at a later point installed the Cisco AnyConnect client from the university's website. I can confirm that the AnyConnect VPN client does indeed muck with resolv.conf when a VPN connection is established. It moves resolv.conf to resolv.conf.vpnbackup and puts its own resolv.conf in place. When you disconnect, it swaps the old one back in. However this does seem to be a move operation, not a copy/delete. I last rebooted the machine on June 20th. Since then I have started/stopped the VPN several times but the timestamp on resolv.conf.vpnbackup is still June 20th. So it might not be the cause of the unlinkification. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1000244 Title: /etc/resolv.conf symlink does not exist after initial installation of resolvconf package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/resolvconf/+bug/1000244/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
