That doesn't help the problem that /etc/resolv.conf is the file that the experienced admin expects to contain the nameservers' addresses. > # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) > # For more info see /usr/share/doc/resolvconf/name-service-in-Ubuntu.txt > # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN The admin is not going to follow documentation links for the thing that "should" be working the way it always worked and that Ubuntu has broken. Documentation is what you look for when you're looking to understand something new, not to understand why Ubuntu has become buggy and annoying. This text should go directly in /etc/resolv.conf. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1638836 Title: resolv.conf for resolved stub server should have a comment how to see the actual servers To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/resolvconf/+bug/1638836/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
