Public bug reported: After a fresh install of Kubuntu 12.10, my resolv.conf remains stubbornly empty. I have tried manually setting the DNS server via the network manager UI (which doesn't work); I tried turning off dnsmasq in the network manager configuration (which didn't work); I tried dpkg- reconfigure to set resolveconf to auto (which didn't work); and finally I edited resolvconf.d/head with my nameserver, which works.
I see the DHCP info arrive in syslog, with a nameserver, but it is never written.
