Stop Network Manager overwriting resolv.conf

Arg.. I updated /etc/resolv.conf and later after a reboot or restarting my network services NetworkManager pulls out my updates. So to stop this here is what have found works for me.

  1. Update /etc/resolv.conf as I wish
  2. edit NewtworkManager.conf
    sudo vi /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
  3. under [main] add
    dns=none
  4. restart NetworkManager to ensure my /etc/resolv.conf is left alone
  5. Wonder why I didn’t sort this out sooner 🙂
