[00:07] bashing-om so i got the fan out but i cant figure out how to unplug it. do you pull the cable out or slide the connector out. [00:09] brenster21: Oh gosh .. Got me - Is there a need to even get the fan out of the way ? [00:09] yes [00:09] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PVrBjyBPmVM is the teardown vedio i was using [00:10] nevermind got it off [00:11] brenster21: I do not run videos on this ole box as I too overheat - one of these days I got to redo the thermal paste. === [1]MrMobius is now known as MrMobius [00:18] bashing-om two questions when should i replace the thermal paste, where can i buy some at 840 at night? [00:24] brenster21: Replace the paste ( about a 5 year lifespan) when you can not determine any other reason for the CPU to be running hot. Thermal paste is "specialty" - can not get it just anywhere/anytime. [00:25] I figured as much, for cleaning hte fan and heatsink. I should use compressed air and rubbing alchol right? [00:27] brenster21: Yup .. and take care that when spraying that you do not over spin the fan blades- I hold them still with a pencil. [00:27] maybe amazon prime can get you thermal paste on short notice? [00:27] bashing-om should i use a cotton swab to hold the alcohol. (90 percent alcohol by volume) [00:28] guess i am going to best buy tomorrow :( [00:28] brb [00:29] brenster21: cotton swab is good :) But the main concern is the dust. Make sure the air ducts are all clear. [00:52] bashing-om that is what i am doing [00:53] brenster21: Pay attention with the cotton swap not to leave threads about that will short out the circuitry :P [00:54] bashing-om i will give you a second beer if you come over and help :P [00:54] Ubuntu has frozen twice in one day [00:54] it's unbelievable [00:55] brenster21: Situation like that - only room for one pair of hands :P [00:56] bashing-om your right, i will leave :P [00:56] no_maam: Any hint is the syslog ? [00:57] N0Lif3: ^^ no_maam Sorry - not paying attention to my tab complete :( [00:58] brenster21: Ho-kay ... But if ya want something done right - do it; yopurself :D [01:00] bashing-om your right, how do i tell the difference from dust and spongy fabric put on the heat sink [01:15] brenster21: Heat pad rather than paste ? If a Pad, were me I would leave well enough alone - or change the Pad out ( consult the manufacturer ) with *maybe* a good paste compound. === zbenjamin_ is now known as zbenjamin === slashd- is now known as slashd [01:36] Bashing-om cleaned computer, still cant start :( [01:39] I am going through the errors in journalctl so far i got some due to mounting externals acpai error no handler for region, acpi error region embedded control has no handler. method parce execution failed. Couldn't get size 0x800000000000000000000e no caching mode found assuming drive cache. [01:41] wrong diagnotic page, failed to get diagnotistic page. and dev disk by uuid appeared twice with differeny sysfs paths [01:46] is it common for Ubuntu to display WRONG information with the space I have available? According to it, My 240GB ssd is already halfway empty, 125.3GB free space when I have basically nothing on it. I've only installed a few programs. That's it. === Flexman is now known as Guest41519 [01:49] N0Lif3: Perhaps the partition you're using does not occupy the entirety of the drive's space [01:49] one thing comes in mind; growing xorg.log or .xsession-errors [01:49] I setup ubuntu to use the full disk [01:51] I checked it in gparted, it has the main partition and a 512MB EFI system partition. [01:53] where the heck did all of my space go? Does Ubuntu itself take 100GB? [01:55] No, should be more around 25-30 [02:01] brenster21: Pulled the data drivews ? such that all that is now connected is what is needed to only boot the system ? [02:06] bashing-om i got the system to boot back to normal a few system errors but oh well it works for now. [02:06] 2 of drives are correctly automounting, the other i need to manually mount not exactly sure why that it is. [02:07] N0Lif3: To see what on the main filesystem ( aside from what is in the users' /home directories), you can use: sudo du -Sh / --exclude=/proc --exclude=/home| sort -rh | head -5 [02:07] ( for the top 5 directories which have the most stuff ) [02:08] Probable culprits are /var/log and /var/cache/apt/archives [02:10] brenster21: That is good news - did you misconfigure /etc/fstab ? as a thought . [02:10] yes had spaces [02:12] genii, does encryption the whole disk do this? [02:12] I figured out the problem. I did have Steam setup to only download games to my secondary harddrive, but for some reason Steam disassocated with it, removed it from my list of download folders, and chose to only install to my SSD [02:12] oh [02:15] bashing-om thank you for all your help today [02:16] brenster21: Just holding a hand is all :D === mIk3_09 is now known as mIk3_08 [02:21] what's the proper way to use a secondary harddrive? Because Steam keeps disassocating with this location. [02:21] https://i.imgur.com/tZlN3G6.png [02:24] steam has a manual for that [02:24] N0Lif3: The /media path indicates it's being mounted on the fly when the system sees it. So likely Steam is defaulting to your main drive as a fallback when that one's not plugged in. [02:25] what's the proper way to use a secondary harddrive? [02:25] This is ridiculous. [02:29] depends how you installed steam, flatpak needs some tweaking > flatpak override --user --filesystem=/media/1.0TB-Hard-Disk com.valvesoftware.Steam [02:31] Alternately you caould make some partition so tiny no files can be stored on it, then fstab entry for the second drive to mount there. If it's not plugged in you'll know because Steam or some other part of the system will complain there's no space [02:56] hi there, is there a way to make a [02:56] new keyboard key? [02:56] and use that new keyboard key to trigger something? [02:56] various applications use keyboard keys to perform events, right? I was hoping to remap this keyboard key entirely. [03:09] hi, I'm having an issue. I have VMWare installed. For some reason, vmnet1 keeps getting assigned 192.168.43.1/24 network range. This overlaps with my phone's hotspot network range... causing packets to get dropped. I modified the vmware DHCP configuration file at /etc/vmware/vmnet1/dhcpd/dhcpd.conf to change the ip address to a different network range... but, upon reboot, the vmnet1's address keeps reverting [03:09] to 192.168.43.0/24 range [03:10] so upon reboot, i have to keep typing ifconfig -a 192.168.200.1 netmask 255.255.255.0. [04:20] could someone recommend an alternate IRC program other than pidgin? [04:20] it doesn't have a 'resume download' function for XDCC transfers so I'm having to restart each time I get an internet hiccup, makes large files very hard [04:22] hexchat, kvirc are a couple of othr free irc clients [04:22] quasel too. not sure about the spelling but you should be able to find it on google newtolubuntu [04:23] do they all have a 'resume' function for xdcc? [04:24] i have no idea abouut about the xdcc funtion, sorry [04:24] *function [04:24] I'll try your first mention, appears it does https://github.com/hexchat/hexchat/issues/417 [04:25] newtolubuntu you can also look into install something called Wine. wine will let you run the windows version of mirc or any other windows irc client [04:25] use wine if the other 3 clients dont do what you are looking to do [04:31] the thing about wine is I switched to linux to avoid resource consumption and emulating windows sounds resource intensive === Flexman is now known as Guest10004 [04:38] hm... it has a 'resume' button but it didn't give me the option to recognize existing file, unless I did it wrong... [04:40] ah wait, I did, yo uhave to select the file or else it will try and make a new one wit ha slightly altered name like adding a space [04:42] nevermind [04:42] figured it out [04:55] Hey guys, I was trying to test i3 so I installed it now I am seeing that my notifications UI in Lubuntu 18.04 is changed [04:55] how to get it back to normal? [04:57] So on 19.04 i have auto login enabled every time I turn on the computer it says "The login keyring did not get unlocked when you logged into your computer" [04:58] How can I stop it from asking me for my password === Flexman is now known as Guest43868 [05:09] Noticed tonight my ufw rule stopped working. Had to turn the firewall off to connect. Had been fine for years, not sure what might do this. [05:31] Bray90820: you're gonna have to remove the password from the keyring, I forget how though [05:37] NegativeFlare: Thanks that actually worked [05:38] awesome, good to hear [05:40] I have another question my primary monitor with the dock and menubar seems to be labeled as 2 idk if that really is a problem or not [05:40] nah [05:40] Why is it labeled like that [05:40] Bray90820: its more of how the devices are assigned, not much to really worry about [05:41] the Kernel sees the first input before the other, so it assigns it as such. === angrycoast is now known as NewToThis [05:41] My 3 monitor setup is hilarious, so don't worry much about it [05:41] Well until I restarted every file I created with touch was going to monitor 1 doesn't seem to be doing that anymore tho [05:42] So idk if that is an issue or not [05:43] Nah, as of right now your window manager is keeping up with all that [05:45] Alright [05:45] Thaoes are allmy questions for now [05:45] Thanks [05:45] alrighty, no problem [05:56] Ok I actually do have another question every time I restart my computer my bluetooth keyboard doesn't work until I hit any key and wait a few seconds [05:56] Is there a way to get it to connect automatically? [05:57] Actually it is any bluetooth device [05:59] I'm not sure honestly, I'm a "wired" type of guy lol [06:02] Thanks anyways [06:10] I have an extra key on my keyboard I'd like to rebind somehow to use with another program. [06:11] I've identified it as an ACPI key, and also a keyboard scan code for it [06:11] but how do I map it so it's usable for other programs? [06:13] I've figured out how to find acpi events and map them to trigger actions [06:13] but not to create a custom/new keyboard key [06:14] * NegativeFlare ducks off to bed === janco_ is now known as janco === The_Milkman1 is now known as The_Milkman [09:06] Do you guys know if its possible to push DNS to Ubuntu 18.04 when connecting with OpenVPN client via NetworkManager? === Flexman is now known as Guest56149 [09:11] I have an OpenVPN server on my OpenWRT router and want to push its DNS server to Ubuntu when i connect to the VPN via NetworkManager. Tried push 'dhcp-option DNS 10.111.111.1' but that does not land on the Ubuntu, neither resolv.conf nor NetworkManager seem to know about that [09:15] I have a situation [09:15] hello. I have move my ubuntu vm machine to upgraded host pc and now it obtain a valid ip from dhcp server but I cant ping any www [09:15] But I can access local lan www servers [09:15] 5gb and 3gb swap full, I open system monitor and biggest process taking ram is 250mb RAM, how do I figure out what is taking so much RAM? [09:15] try create a new one but it stucks on boot splash screen [09:18] nexiu, #vbox ? [09:19] vmware, but its network issue [09:19] I have IP but its looks like problem with dns [09:19] so you can ping all ways? [09:22] de-facto: yes, tried now [09:22] otherwise i would have suggested you check your routes [09:22] can you ping 8.8.8.8 from within the guest? [09:23] yes [09:23] and host google.com? [09:24] no, I cant [09:24] maybe you can set that 8.8.8.8 as DNS server then? not sure if you want that or rather a local one... [09:25] how I can download a html documentation of a program on Windows machine? E.g. I would like to read git-doc locally using browser. [09:25] I have local one installed within gueast and a 2nd copy on raspi === VegetarianFalcon is now known as intellect [09:26] I could retrieve git-doc easily on Linux, but how it can be done on Windows? [09:27] nexiu, then check their log files and query them with "dig @" program [09:36] zeroes: https://manpages.ubuntu.com/ === vicamo_ is now known as vicamo [09:52] de-facto: i found where devil is [09:53] networkmenager puts incorrect dns into resolv.conf [09:53] after every reboot / network restart [09:53] tomreyn: thank you. I can download html-files from that page :D [09:54] nexiu, yeah i am fighting with NM too, i try to get it to put the dns of my OVPN push in resolv.conf [09:54] no success so far :/ [09:57] my only idea is a command to copy proper resolv.conf instead NM one after log in [09:58] nexiu, i think you should not directly write to resolv.conf, rather try to convince nm to put correct dns in there [09:59] otherwise you will have problems on reconnect === Flexman is now known as Guest748 [10:02] maybe you can makel your DHCP to tell NM the DNS? [10:03] its configured via dhcp in NM but in resolv.conf is invalid [10:05] where is the DHCP from? Maybe you can configure it in VMWare? not sure i never used that [10:07] its bridged network so dhcp is on router [10:08] hmm ok and other clients get correct DNS via DHCP? [10:08] yes [10:08] bridged... does that mean shared ip address between host and guest? [10:08] i blame dnsmasq [10:08] ill dig it later [10:09] maybe host connects, gets ip and dns but not the guest? [10:09] not sure [10:09] i mean there probably is just one lease per mac address or such? [10:28] qtox or utox for ubuntu? how to install ? [10:30] https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=qtox [10:33] https://askubuntu.com/questions/1047330/how-to-compile-and-install-qtox-from-github-on-ubuntu-18-04/1047398 [10:33] good luck with that === mnemonic is now known as Guest96893 [10:59] mystic, toxcore like: mkdir /tmp/toxcore ; cd /tmp/toxcore ; dget dget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/libt/libtoxcore/libtoxcore_0.2.9-1.dsc ; tar -xf *.tar.xz ; tar -xf *.tar.gz ; mv debian c-toxcore-*/ ; cd c-toxcore-*/ ; sed -i 's/debhelper (>= 12~)/debhelper/' debian/control ; sudo apt-get build-dep . ; dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc [11:14] mystic, then you install toxcore like sudo dpkg -i /tmp/toxcore/*.deb ; sudo apt-get -f install [11:14] building qtox... [11:14] mkdir -p /tmp/qtox/build ; cd /tmp/qtox ; dget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/q/qtox/qtox_1.16.3-2.dsc ; tar -xf *.tar.xz -C build ; tar -xf *.tar.gz -C build ; cd build ; sed -i 's/debhelper (>= 12~)/debhelper/' debian/control ; sudo apt-get build-dep . ; dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc [11:15] then you install qtox like sudo dpkg -i /tmp/qtox/*.deb ; sudo apt-get -f install [11:15] done :) [11:16] i recommend running each command on it own so you can see if something fails though [11:16] just separate by the " ; " [11:17] Is there a way to allow nautilus to allow file overwrites through renames. Igets pretty tedious having to delete the original file to rename the new file to it [11:17] it [11:17] or do I need to install another file manager [11:18] nautilus will ask you before it would overwrite [11:18] if its many files you can tell it to do it for all of the collisions [11:18] nautilus does not ask it disables the rename button de-facto [11:19] i wish it asked is there some way to configure it to ask to overwrite? [11:19] do you have permissions for that file? [11:19] yes [11:19] i am on ubuntu 19,04 [11:19] i dont understand what you want to do then [11:20] lets say I have 2 files "a.jpg" and "a-tj.jpg" in the same folder. I want to rename "a-tj.jpg" to "a.jpg" and throw away a.jpg [11:20] when I try to rename a-tj.jpg to "a.jpg" the rename button gets disabled and I can not overwrite [11:20] both files are owned and created by me [11:20] then you have to delete a.jpg first of course [11:21] yes but is there a config potion to allow overites through renames [11:21] in kde an overwrite was just a prompt [11:21] it gets tedious for many file to delete the originals to rename the new ones [11:22] or does nautilus completely bar ytou form this and I need another file manager? [11:22] well its not a rename then, its a delete and then rename [11:22] de-facto like the "mv" command in linux [11:22] yes i know [11:23] there is no way in nautilus to do that? [11:23] What is the escape-time setting in tmux? [11:23] not sure about that, i guess it disables for good reason if data loss is involved [11:23] like a precaution do not do that silently [11:24] well its a good reason but if ther user wantys the choice to overwrite is it not available? [11:25] honestly i dont know i would do such tasks with a script employing "find ... -exec sh -c '' \;...." [11:25] de-facto I liove how I can overload the menu to work on files with nautilus-actions [11:26] just this not allw renames to loose the original file is troublesome for me [11:26] i think i need to look for some other file manager [11:26] can you recommend a gtk based one [11:27] since nautilus does not give the user the choice to have mv like behaviour with a prompt [11:29] well it makes sense that if you have a big directory that it makes you aware of collisions [11:29] de-facto I guess I'll try nemo and see. I need filemanager actions but overwrite as werll [11:30] de-facto awareness of collision should be "this file exists. do you want to ovewrite the file?" not blockj you from renaming to overwrite [11:30] you can also look in dconf org/gnome/nautilus/preferences if you find some options [11:31] hi [11:31] if its not possible you might open a bug report or feature request to improve it maybe [11:31] but first you have to be sure ... [11:32] again i got an error report popup.. when i check /var/crash i find a locked file _usr_bin_gnome-shell.121.crash [11:32] but i cant view it. it is locked [11:34] and a .lock file [11:34] how can i get detail of error and fix it? [11:36] maybe you have to become root to read it? [11:36] idk... [11:38] maybe [11:38] it can contain sensible data, hence its blocked for normal users i guess [11:38] something with apport-unpack, gdb and backtrace [11:38] ok i am in it now [11:38] i will paste [11:39] also i couldnt find out freezing cause yet.. [11:39] it happened 3 times [11:40] well if it freezes the kernel it might be some kernel module like graphics or such [11:40] you have to investigate further i guess [11:41] it s large file..

If I login, I type startx and then the name of the application it works. How can I do it without logging in first? [12:03] https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/H6vv8N485t/ [12:05] fgiulianiint, what application do you want to start without user login? [12:06] ok bbl after memtest86.. [12:06] see ya [12:10] OerHeks, it's a custom application developed by me. Actually I just would like it starts before the end of plymouth animation without see any boot (or log) message [12:12] plymouth animation without desktop, interesting [12:12] no, you need to login as the user. [12:13] OerHeks, sorry without any desktop environment, i also install xorg [12:13] OerHeks: back on T60 :p [12:13] x61 is on memtest now [12:13] OerHeks: i also tried to follow also this guide but without success https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=42888 [12:14] it shows RAM 304mhz but it should be 800 [12:14] ddr2-609 [12:14] also it doesnt show ram brand and other specs [12:14] fgiulianiint, i stand by login as the user first. [12:16] hmm is there really no gtk filemanager which allows an overwrite with a rename hmm [12:16] OerHeks, ok i tried to autologin and then make start the application putting startx in the .bash_profile but i see the login messages and the xorg starting messages that i would like to remove [12:17] i guess I'll make it in the script itself then [12:27] lotuspsychje: thank you, not quite what I'm looking for. I'm a fast typist and prefer something like the dask in Unity but without the lag. [12:28] I've just installed Kupfer on 16.04 but it doesn't seem to recognise the keyboard shortcuts. I'll try others on that list next. [12:31] Oh, kupfer works after logout/in. Perfect! [12:31] hi [12:31] How can I check what kind of encryption a gpg file uses? [12:32] it's AES, but I am not sure if it's AES 256 [12:38] @Rojola gpg --list-packets --verbose should reveal gpg: AES256 encrypted data [12:39] thank you so much therealtbe [12:42] re [12:42] sorry I got disconnected [12:42] thank you so much therealtbe [12:42] therealtbe, unfortunately, I can not see if it's 128 or 256 [12:50] @Rojola1 bro does it say 256 [12:51] no [12:51] I even added | grep "256" [12:51] also | grep "128" [12:53] if it doesnt say 256 then its the old default which was 128 [12:53] thank you therealtbe [12:53] just go encrypt something and specify the cipher to test it [12:54] how would that show me the algorythm? When I decrypt it, it only says AES [12:54] go encrypt a test file specifically with 256 and then learn what it looks like when you decrypt with verbose and when you --list-packets [12:55] ok [12:55] therealtbe, what should I use? --cipher-algo AES256 or --algo AES256 ? [12:55] both seem to co-exist [12:55] try both [13:35] Is there an easy way to get gestures supported on Ubuntu trackpad? I've tried this tutorial but I'm not getting results. https://www.maketecheasier.com/add-multitouch-gestures-ubuntu/ [13:37] Touch egg doesn't register any gestures even though I can do two-finger scrolling already. [13:41] memtest86+ passed [13:41] how can i remove gnome extensions? [13:42] B|ack0p: http://www.ubuntubuzz.com/2019/04/how-to-uninstall-gnome-shell-extensions.html # first result on google for "remove gnome extensions" [13:42] i installed them by this command: sudo apt install gnome-shell-extensions [13:43] B|ack0p: if you want to remove the package you installed, then it should be pretty simple to work out how to remove it [13:43] leftyfb: i already read that article. i disabled extensions but i wanna remove them [13:43] ok [13:44] sudo apt purge gnome-shell-extensions probably [13:44] B|ack0p: disabling them will essentially remove them. Do you really care about the kb of space they take up being cached? [13:44] i dont but [13:44] in syslog gnomeshell failed about weather extension [13:45] B|ack0p: so disable the extention [13:45] extension* [13:45] B|ack0p: removing the package is really overkill [13:46] ok [13:46] what are these fails about? https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/rG2mNGJF6X/ [13:47] sorry not fail they are warning [13:47] pipe error [13:47] what are they about? [13:47] i had 4 freezes in 2 days i am just trying to find out what could be the problem [13:55] B|ack0p: those are most likely noise, but worst case those are more symtomps rather than cause of whatever's causing a system freezeing [13:55] B|ack0p: if you're referring to a full system hang, which is only recoverable with power cycling (i.e. not just a freezing process where you can still reboot more safely using !sysrq or even ctrl-alt-del from a !tty): monitor its sensors, stress test the hardware, do 2 full memtest86+ passes [13:56] tomreyn: i am got 4 freeze that didnt allow me to do anything on screen [13:56] everything locked [13:56] i had to press power button to shut down [13:56] so you actually tried !sysrq ? [13:57] when i check syslog or crash there s nothing about the freeze [13:57] nothing shows at exact freeze time [13:57] !sysrq [13:57] In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing slowly, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key [13:57] let me do that [13:57] hmm never done that [13:57] is it a print screen? [13:57] ok [13:57] got it [13:57] if it happens again i will do that [13:58] i did 1 time memtest86 passed [13:58] which hardware is this? journalctl -b | grep DMI: [13:59] tomreyn: $ journalctl -b | grep DMI [13:59] Aug 27 16:38:11 uthink-x61 kernel: DMI: LENOVO 7674CY4/7674CY4, BIOS 7NETC2WW (2.22 ) 03/22/2011 [13:59] Aug 27 16:38:11 uthink-x61 kernel: ACPI: Added _OSI(Linux-Lenovo-NV-HDMI-Audio) [14:00] thinkpad x61 [14:02] so an older model, not uefi booting, i guess. try the above then. you can also try to just switch to a !tty ... [14:02] !tty [14:02] To get to the TTY terminals 3-6, use the keystroke Ctrl + Alt + F3-F6 respectively. Ctrl-Alt-F2 or Ctrl-Alt-F1 will get you back to your graphical login (Ctrl-Alt-F7 on 16.04). To change TTY resolution, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution [14:02] ... then press ctrl-alt-del [14:02] tomreyn: when i get freeze or now? [14:02] you may not get to see it if the graphics hung up. [14:02] when you get the freeze [14:02] everything freezes when it happens [14:02] how do you tell? [14:03] time freezes \ screen buttons [14:03] etc [14:03] so just based on graphical output. you'd see the same if just the video driver locked up but the kernel stilloperates fine. [14:04] it is intel gpu [14:04] to tell those apart, blindly switching to a tty and pressing ctrl-alt-del, or using the sysrq method, may help. [14:05] if those succeed, it means the kernel was still working. it can also means you then have more logs available at journalctl -b -1 -e [14:05] ok when it happens which one should i do? sysreq or tty ? [14:06] tty + ctrl-alt-delete first, watch the storage LED, see if it flashes differently, if it does the system is probably trying to shut down properly at this point. [14:07] if it does not, use magic sysrq. if this does not succeed either, you have a full hardware / kernel hang, and should continue stress testing. [14:08] ctrl+alt+f3-f6 then ctrl+alt+del = tty [14:09] sysrq = alt+prtscr [14:09] you can try switching to a tty now and back to your graphical desktop, so you'll know which tty is really a text console. [14:10] on a text console, you can press sysrq + h to see if it generally works [14:10] tomreyn: i am on f3 [14:10] it should then write a short help text to dmesg | tail [14:13] i couldt get back to graphical interface [14:13] ctrl+alt+del restarted [14:14] now i got a error report popup.. [14:14] no detail given [14:16] Given all the breaking changes with systemd, how does one configure /etc/resolv.conf when using DHCP? [14:17] I can't find any good documentation for this [14:17] if you rm the /etc/resolv.conf symlink and create a text file in its place, systemd will not touch it [14:18] (this is documented somewhere but I can't be bothered to look up where exactly) [14:18] mgedmin, but that assumes you're doing static networking [14:19] i.e. it's generally up to the network config to add the DNS servers to that file [14:19] i.e. the DNS servers supplied by DHCP [14:20] what exactly do you want to configure? you can always put nameserver 127.0.0.53 in your resolv.conf and have it use systemd-resolved, which will forward to the DNS servers supplied by DHCP [14:20] mgedmin, to be blunt, systemd-resolved isn't ready for prime time [14:20] for more advanced dynamic configuration you can use resolvconf, which predates systemd-resolved [14:20] you can't do split DNS with it, so I have to replace it [14:21] I used to do split DNS a few years back; don't remember how exactly but I'm sure resolvconf and a local dnsmasq were involved [14:22] I have notes from back then [14:23] mgedmin, y, and that's what I'm doing now. except I'm using PowerDNS recursor instead of dnsmasq but same idea [14:23]
