Re: Network Manager and Ubumtu 8.10

[Martin Bammer <mrb74 gmx at>]

I had the same problem with 0.7.0. I solved it with the following self
written script:
#!/bin/sh

sleep 5

while true; do
    if [ "x`ifconfig ppp0 2>/dev/null | grep inet`" != "x" ]; then
        if [ "x`cat /etc/resolv.conf | grep nameserver`" = "x" ]; then
            echo "DNS entries missing! Repairing it."
            cp /etc/resolv.conf.provider /etc/resolv.conf
        fi
    fi
    sleep 5
done

Then add the following line to /etc/rc.local:
/usr/local/bin/dns_workaround.sh &

Assuming you have saved the above script
in /usr/local/bin/dns_workaround.sh.

In the last step create a file /etc/resolv.conf.provider with correct
entries.

I know it doesn't solve the problem in nm, but it will hopefully solve
your problem ;-)

Cheers, Martin
