2010-03-08 04:49:02 André Pirard description Binary package hint: bind9 Using Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid). I installed bind9 as a caching nameserver. (BTW, kudos for the simplest BIND installation ever seen !!!) But BIND could overload my router's NAT table with UDP DNS requests. So, ... I uninstalled bind9. BIND did not stop. I had to restart Ubuntu. But /etc/resolv.conf remained like this : # 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 search lan ==> DNS no longer worked. Uninstall cleanup did not restore a working DNS state. resolvconf's README is suggesting this : $ sudo echo "nameserver 192.168.0.1" | resolvconf -a dummy /sbin/resolvconf: line 79: dummy_new.4139: Permission denied Turned on manual mode : workaround : /etc/resolvconf/run/interface/ contained lo.named and NetworkManager I removed lo.named leaving NetworkManager /etc/resolv.conf became : # Generated by NetworkManager domain lan search lan nameserver 192.168.0.1 nameserver 192.168.0.1 Strange contents, but working again.
