[Bug 60518] Re: gnome-system-tools network-admin does not play nicely with resolvconf

 

Moving back to gnome-system-tools as there isn't much we can do in
resolvconf to deal with packages directly poking /etc/resolv.conf.

** Package changed: resolvconf (Ubuntu) => gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu)

Title:
  gnome-system-tools network-admin does not play nicely with resolvconf

Status in “gnome-system-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

  I have two network interfaces, eth0 a wireless interface and eth1 a
  wired ethernet interface.

  In network-admin I've configured the eth1 interface via DHCP. I then
  select the interface and click the "Activate". All is well, the
  interface gets configured and /etc/resolv.conf contains the stuff
  received from the dhcp server. If I then click the "OK" button to exit
  network-admin, /etc/resolv.conf reverts back to containing no
  configuration data (only the boilerplate info about it being a
  dynamically generated file).

  For the record, I have no entries in the DNS tab in network-admin.
