Hello! I’m currently unable to change the nameserver value in /etc/resolve.conf on my laptop that is running Fedora 30. I do have an internet connection since I’m able to ping 8.8.8.8.
Even when I go into the network settings for the wireless and override the DNS settings to point to googles servers. DNS lookups are still not working.
My resolver.conf file contains the follwing configuration on my laptop.
# Generated by NetworkManager
search ad.somedoman.com
nameserver 192.168.10.4
In comparison my desktop computer has the follwing
# Generated by NetworkManager
search fedoraz.internal
nameserver 192.168.1.1
Cheers!
P.S. in solution remove the -r argument from the ln command.
You probably mean /etc/resolv.conf, not /etc/resolver.conf.
Make sure that 192.168.1.1 is the only DHCP server in your network.
Every connection has its own DNS settings, so if you use more than one connection simultaneously, consider to utilize systemd-resolved which supports split-DNS mode:
I was unable to create the symbolic link due to an Operation not permitted error. I did run as sudo. Even when I run as the root user the link command doesn’t work. ls -l outputs:
I can understand chattr, but what’s the problem with ln -r?
Fedora 30 Workstation, LVM partitioning by default, latest updates.
I can’t reproduce the issue and it’s confusing.
-r forces creation of a relative symlink, I honestly have no idea why it affected this but it stuck out as something different than most people use when creating symlinks for resolved.
