Comment 1 for bug 1023392

Update:

I received some input from an associated Ubuntu 12.04 bug report (that states this isn't a bug?)

For some reason my systems are not generating the resolv.conf file...

On the Compaq Presario:

Purged reslolvconf and network-manager (I'm a Linux novice.... This will brick your system!)
I booted from a live CD
Mounted the bricked partition
Used chroot to reinstall resolvconf and network-manager

I now have a resolvconf file and so far I have not had any DNS failures.

Acer Aspire One Netbook

I have reinstalled Linux Mint MATE 32-bit (I wanted to change my partiion structure anyway)

Still have DNS resolution issues and no resolvconf is generated.

I will boot from live CD when I get a chance and chroot and purge and resinstall resolvconf and network-manager.

I have another desktop system that is using a wired connection, it also has no resolv.conf file, but I have not noticed any dns issues with it, although I do not use the system much it mostly is used to seed some torrents.

Bug or not a bug, this is the question....
