[14:39] <ball> My daughter's Lubuntu box seems to have lost its mind: Network Manager is posting bogus nameserver information into /etc/resolv.conf
[14:52] <ball> Should I set fire to it?
[14:54] <lubot> <HMollerCl> can it be the DNS Server you are using?
[14:56] <lubot> <HMollerCl> sorry, I mean DHCP
[14:57] <ball> lubot: Wouldn't that impact other machines on the same LAN though?
[14:57] <lubot> <HMollerCl> yes
[14:57] <lubot> <HMollerCl> have you reinstall network manager?
[14:58] <ball> How do I do that?
[14:58] <lubot> <HMollerCl> in which lubuntu are you?
[14:59] <ball> 17.10?
[14:59] <lubot> <HMollerCl> have you tried updating to 18.04?
[15:00] <lubot> <HMollerCl> maybe that update solve the problem
[15:00] <ball> I'd probably have to nuke and pave.  Can't upgrade without working DNS
[15:00] <lubot> <HMollerCl> in the meantime you could: ... To prevent programs from overwriting /etc/resolv.conf you can also write-protect it by setting the immutable file attribute: ... # chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf
[20:03] <ball> I made one and gave it 444 and Network Manager still broke it.
