Network Manager is used for much more than configuring wired networking... I use the network interface file to configure my wired connections (because I require the use of VLANs and Bridges - which Network Manager does not provide). However on some machines I still need network manager for the use of Wireless networks and PPTP.
Either way lets not get too far off track. Uninstalling Network-Manager is a workaround IF you have no need for Network-Manager. Workarounds aside... This is a regression, this did not occur in 11.04 and is clearly not "as designed" so the problem should be identified and fixed... Another workaround is: Prevent changes to the file # chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf Undo previous command # chattr -i /etc/resolv.conf -matt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/867833 Title: Network Manager overwriting /etc/resolv.conf with no information when static IP configured for ipv4 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/867833/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
