Strictly speaking, Network Manager doesn't change /etc/resolv.conf unless it is configured with static DNS information, or uses DHCP to fetch the same. A reboot alone does not cause this to happen. Note also that if you were previously using DHCP on an interface, then later configure it statically in /etc/network/interfaces, that the dhcp-client instance may still be running. It will periodically refresh the address. Kill it manually or reboot.

Maintain a stanza for the network device in /etc/network/interfaces man interfaces Also maintain /etc/resolv.conf manually.

So, what is the best way to disable Network Manager? List the interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces, and Network Manager will ignore them. auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.0.1 You can also remove the network-manager package. But you'll need to configure the interfaces manually as above. See also "man interfaces".

There are command line tools if you Google for them but there isn't one installed by default. However if it's a server you can configure your system manually and disable Network Manager, which stops it making changes. s/ Twitter: @sfgreenwood "post-apocalyptic allen keys" -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
[ubuntu-uk] Configure Network Manager from Command Line
I have just rebooted a machine, and it lost the ability to resolve domain names. This machine has 11.10 on it and I have just done an update today. This suggested a reboot so I did. After that, it forgot how to resolve domain names. Poking around, I found the /etc/resolv.conf file had nothing in it except a not saying it was managed by network-manager. Manually adding a nameserver here fixed my problem, but I am going to guess that it will disappear again next reboot. How do I make this permanent from the command line over ssh? -- Philip Stubbs -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
