Okay, so I installed Linux Mint 13 KDE 64bit last night and received this resolv symlink does not exist error.
So I've recorded the outputs that @Thomas request below. I hope they help! --- elaterite ~ # ls -l /etc/resolv.conf ls: cannot access /etc/resolv.conf: No such file or directory elaterite ~ # ls -l /run/resolvconf total 0 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 40 Dec 1 21:22 interface -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 1 21:22 postponed-update elaterite ~ # ls -l /run/resolvconf/interface total 0 elaterite ~ # cat /etc/resolv.conf cat: /etc/resolv.conf: No such file or directory --- Then I ran the following commands: elaterite ~ # dpkg-reconfigure resolvconf and enabled the option to 'Prepare /etc/resolv.conf for dynamic updates'. elaterite ~ # resolvconf --enable-updates elaterite ~ # shutdown -r now --- And upon reboot: elaterite ~ # ls -l /etc/resolv.conf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Dec 1 23:09 /etc/resolv.conf -> ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf elaterite ~ # ls -l /run/resolvconf total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dec 1 23:11 enable-updates drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 60 Dec 1 23:11 interface -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 172 Dec 1 23:11 resolv.conf elaterite ~ # ls -l /run/resolvconf/interface total 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21 Dec 1 23:11 NetworkManager elaterite ~ # 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 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1000244 Title: /etc/resolv.conf symlink does not exist after initial installation of resolvconf package To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/resolvconf/+bug/1000244/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
