My resolv.config shows: dixon@dixon-vaio:~$ ls -l /etc/resolv.conf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 May 9 06:59 /etc/resolv.conf -> ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf
To remove permissions, i deleted the file: dixon@dixon-vaio:~$ sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf And then restored from previous backup: dixon@dixon-vaio:~$ sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf.bak /etc/resolv.conf Now: dixon@dixon-vaio:~$ ls -l /etc/resolv.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 172 May 25 02:17 /etc/resolv.conf Here the link to "../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf" is missing. Will it cause any problem..? How can i create this link ? Contents of resolv.conf: dixon@dixon-vaio:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN nameserver 127.0.0.1 And, Now it seems the problem solved !!
