Title:
NetworkManager not setting given DNS in resolv.conf
Status in NetworkManager:

Bug description:
-------------------- SYSTEM INFOS ----------------
# lsb_release -rd
Description: Linux Mint 17 Qiana
Release: 17
# dpkg --list cinnamon resolvconf network-manager
ii cinnamon 2.2.16 amd64 Cinnamon desktop

framework (daemon and userspace tools)
ii resolvconf 1.69ubuntu1.1 all name server information
handler
--------------------------------------------------
So, it looks like a duplicate of
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/382161
but this was on KDE in 2009 and I doubt it would have anything to do
with it...
Anyway, here is how to reproduce the problem:
- Go to network-manager settings GUI (network indicator -> Network
connections)
- Edit current connection (wlan0 in my case)
- Go to IPv4 settings
- Select DHCP (addresses only)
- Set a DNS server, say 37.59.72.228 (it's the first server from OpenNIC
project)
- Click save
- Click disconnect
- Click connect
In the summary, you can see the DNS server you just typed. But if you
# cat /etc/resolv.conf
then you see the DNS server provided by your DHCP server (in my case
192.168.1.1)
So the only way to bypass DHCP's DNS settings is to hard-code the DNS
in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head
Since this can lead users to believe that they are using their
favorite DNS server while they get answers from their ISP/Hotspot DNS,
I checked the 'Security' box.
