[opensuse] unwanted error messages
Running Leap 42.3. In my messages files I repeatedly receive "You have modified /etc/resolv.conf" error messages. I would like to turn off this check. Or find out how to make my resolve.conf look like what opensuse is expecting.

I have never modified /etc/resolv.conf except with "yast {lan,network}" yet I consistently receive the error msg. I even replaced the current with a backed-up original install version to no avail. what decides the file has been modified (incorrectly)? tks -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Ah, sorry, I missed that. Btw, I see the same on a laptop here, but with NetworkManager. I wonder if it is some sort of clash between NetworkManager and dns-resolver.

I'm not sure how it is done. Maybe some checksum written whenever yast or dhcp updates it. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (24.3°C) http://www.cloudsuisse.com/ - your owncloud, hosted in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

fwiw, it appears yast fails to edit /etc/sysconfig/network/config and maybe that is causing the failure message. I just took the time to edit /etc/sysconfig/network/config and regenerated /etc/resolv.conf using netconfig update -f will watch for subj "error" message. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Please let me know what you find. I executed the netconfig update command and the only difference between the existing and new resolve.conf files was the elimination of the comment # hsd1.az.comcast.net is my domain name assigned by Comcast. Hard to see that this would make a big difference, but who knows? Don -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Typically, networkmanager writes that file dynamically from its own configuration, or from the information obtained from the router via dhcp. Most often it would be the configuration reccomended by your ISP. As the user can select several network configurations on a click, it makes sense to change the file automatically. The idea is also that if you edit that file manually because you want a different configuration, then it leaves the file alone and writes a message to the log. Also there is a token line in the file to flag to NM that "yes, I know what I did, do not tell me about it", but does not work. Sometimes, apparently, it thinks the file was modified by a human when it was not. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.3 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
