From: Chen Qi <qi.c...@windriver.com> The current handling of /etc/resolv.conf by NM has some problems. When networkd is not configuring network, and there's 'ip=dhcp' in kernel command line, the /run/NetworkManager/resolv.conf file is not created, resulting in /etc/resolv.conf being a dead symlink. This is because NM is treating the network interface as externally configured and will not try to reconfigure it again.
This means if we want NM to work properly with /etc/resolv.conf, we've got to either ensure there's no 'ip=dhcp' in kernel command line, or we've got to ensure networkd is configuring network. This is weird because normally we should not enable two network managers at the same time. Note that NM syncs part of its codes with networkd, which is the reason I think it happens to work when these two network configuration tools are configuring the same interface at the same time. In fact, NM now works well with resolved. It sends the DNS info it gets to resolved unconditionally by default (the behavior could be disabled in configuration file). Looking at the original commit that sets up the update-alternatives mechanism, it says: """ This brings the networkmanager in sync with how systemd-resolved and connman work. Additionally this allows it to function with a read-only rootFS. """ I guess the author was using systemd but disabling resolved, and the author wanted to use read-only rootFS. In order to keep such combination still works, change to use PACKAGECONFIG to handle things, and when 'man-resolv-conf' is enabled, the above combination could still work.
