 Posted: Fri Dec 28, 2007 10:23 pm Post subject: Problem with /etc/resolv.conf |
 |
|
Hi guys, just got gentoo up and running and everything is perfect for the most part. I am running into a slight problem with getting the internet working every time I reboot. It would seem my /etc/resolv.conf file only contain one uncommented line that is: | Code: | | domain <mydomainname> |
and that is it. Everytime I reboot i have to | Code: | | echo nameserver 192.168.0.1 >> /etc/resolv.conf (x 2) |
Is there any way to make this change permanent?
Thank you.
Muq

I'd say, try this first, you probably don't need the other lines if you "borrowed" them from someone else
| Code: | #dns_domain_lo="universe"
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
#dhcp_eth0="nodns nontp nonis"

Humm, I am sorry. Now i am confused. That is what I have | Code: | dns_domain_lo="universe"
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
dhcp_eth0="nodns nontp nonis" |
I guess all i need to know is how do I prevent my /etc/resolv.conf from being reseted to just "domain universe" and not have to manually add "nameserver 192.168.0.1" everytime I reboot.

Comment out the domain and dhcp options:
| Code: | # dns_domain_lo="universe"
config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
# dhcp_eth0="nodns nontp nonis" |
The domain option is screwing up your /etc/resolv.conf, and the dhcp custom options are keeping it from regenerating correctly. |

I have the same problem but my conf.d/net file says:
| Code: | dns_domain_lo="gentoo"
config_eth0=( "10.0.0.139 netmask 255.255.255.0" )
routes_eth0=( "default via 10.0.0.138" ) |
is it something wrong with it and it changes my resolv.conf every time I boot? |

Try adding this to conf.d/net:
From the man page:
| Code: |
-R Prevents dhcpcd from replacing /etc/resolv.conf or using resolv-
conf.

Maybe someone could donate better documentation 
But if you specify dns_domain then it will overwrite /etc/resolv.conf with the options you have specified.
So if you only specify dns_domain_lo="foo" and restart the lo interface it will put "domain foo" in /etc/resolv.conf and remove everything else.
Let me put it another way - you probably don't need to specify a domain there. Ask yourself why you need it and what it's for.

Have you tried to add these 2 lines to conf.d/net
dns_servers_ESSID=( "192.168.0.1" "192.168.0.2" )
dns_domain_ESSID="some.domain" |
