[00:32] its mounting the share as root [00:33] instead of with the user provided in the mount command [00:41] nvm, looks like just adding option "noperm" to the command is a fix [01:10] Hi [01:12] Does anyone know if the ubuntu images for raspberry pi 4 work out of the box with hardware video decoding support? [01:14] Emil: probably yes, though go with 21.04, not 20.04. 20.04 was missing some stuff for rpi4 things, I can't recall what [01:15] Emil: the 21.04 release notes mention accelerated wayland as a possibility, so it might even be that there's two supported accelerated desktops https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/hirsute-hippo-release-notes/19221 === olivier is now known as Guest6763 [02:02] How do i get / to not be busy so i can run a fsck on it [02:04] C0nundrum15: you can do so from recovery [02:04] !recovery | C0nundrum15 [02:04] C0nundrum15: If your system fails to boot normally, it may be useful to boot it into recovery mode. For instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveryMode [02:04] i can boot into normal mode [02:04] there are just disk errors [02:04] is there a faster / easier way that recovery mode ? [02:05] sudo touch /forcefsck [02:05] doesn't seem to do anything in 18.04 either [02:06] what disk errors? [02:07] you can't fix _disk_ errors with fsck [02:07] that only fixes _file system_ errors [02:07] *tries to [02:07] :) [02:07] well, yeah [02:08] in case of a broken disk it's more likely to make things worse [02:08] in fact it might make things worse if there are actual disk errors [02:08] :) [02:08] :) [02:10] probably best to check SMART data first [02:11] C0nundrum15: ^ [02:11] !smart [02:11] smart is Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology, a monitoring system for hard drives. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Smartmontools [02:11] I know fsck will fix it. i just ran out of space [02:14] then use recovery mode or boot from an Ubuntu live disk/CD & run fsck from there [02:16] (I think the live images don't auto-mount filesystems, but if they do you can always unmount them) === genii is now known as genii-core [02:31] C0nundrum: do be clear,no, there is no "faster / easier" way than running an fsck on a filesystem properly. You should do it while it's unmounted [02:32] dam [02:32] i made things worse lol [02:32] i edited my fstab to make it ro and that allowed me to run fsck and fix the erorrs [02:32] oh my [02:32] but now , i can't edit fstab back [02:33] = ( [02:33] C0nundrum32: use a live cd/usb like you were told originally [02:33] at this point you ought to reboot [02:33] I went into recover mode [02:33] and choose drop to root [02:33] and tried to edit it, but its read only [02:33] C0nundrum32: use a live cd/usb [02:34] Ah i thought i did, i guess i just booted to the on disk grub [02:35] so just clicked try ubuntu [02:36] C0nundrum32: btw, mounting the filesystem ro is still mounting the filesystem. Running fsck on that is also not going to work. So regardless, you till need to run fsck on it [03:22] SO i booted the life cd [03:22] [11:21:06 PM] WHen i run fsck on /dev/sda1 i get.

I then had to select the wireless network again, and then it connected. I have it selected as priorty 0 for auto connect. Any recommendations on what I can read to help me set it so it never stops trying to reconnect? I especially don't get why it asks for a password reprompt.

[04:31] Firefishe: Thanks - Poof [04:40] Hey [04:41] So i booted a live cd and ran fsck but i ubuntu still warns me about errors on the lvm volume. Want else can i try ? [04:45] Hi there! I have this problem: I bought a dell laptop with ubuntu 18.04 lts preinstalled. After a couple of days I decided to upgrade to 20.04 lts. After couple of days, I can't connect to my wifi. [04:48] I tried using hotspot and it is working. After that I decided to use the wired connection to connect to the network/internet. Last week my wired connection decided to stop working. The only thing that I did before this happend was to update the system [04:48] Any ideas on what should I do ? [04:49] I did a manual configuration of the wired card but nothing happend. [04:50] Do you think that a fresh install will solve my problems? [04:50] Quetzalcoatl: its possible the upgrade resulted you to 5.11 kernel (uname -a ) and that it doesnt like your wifi chipset, check your dmesg for deeper investigation [04:54] I sent the laptop to a computer service and they tested the wifi and wired cards with a live ubuntu. The result: the wifi card connected instantly to their wifi network but the wired card did not [04:55] lotuspsychje: i will take a look to logs [04:56] Quetzalcoatl: could you check your current kernel plz? [04:56] I cant right now because the laptop is not with me right now. [04:57] I assume that the kernel is [04:57] 5.4.0-88 [04:58] because I use the official kernel provided by canonical [04:58] Quetzalcoatl: best to come back for support, when you have the machine nearby so volunteers can live support you [04:59] yeah [05:57] Hi. I was trying to install emacs packages from within emacs on ubuntu but got certificate errors. `gnutls-cli elpa.gnu.org` shows the same thing (output: https://bpa.st/UN7Q) but I can access elpa.gnu.org on browser. Does anyone know how this can be fixed? [06:08] anyone able to help me understand why this is happening? https://imgur.com/a/zICSna3 [06:09] the echo is done by a setup script. [06:18] weq. why *what* is happening? (imgur sure seems like the wrong tool for presenting this...) echo's showing the contents of the quoted string from #! to sed -e, then the backquoted quote, then the quoted string starting with s/, [06:19] rfm: you may want to check out https://termbin.com/ for copy-pasta of terminal stuff [06:20] weq ^ [06:20] the bois over at #linux suggested it might needed more escaping since it might be seen as an escape sequence. Trying to redeploy now to test. [06:20] also, if you're just looking for the hostname without the FQDN, try $(hostname -s) [06:20] (that should print the hostname up to but not including anything after the first dot) [06:21] I was just baffeled by the notion of something I'd assume would be a string literal would be processed. [06:21] alternatively you could also try bash shell expansions to extract the goo you want [06:21] It is an sed expression that takes parts of the name and appends the rest and it "works" when I paste the entire echo block like `echo crap > file` but not when it all being executed via a setup script. [06:21] the pre ' tells me that is not a string, it is a list as a string ... [06:22] then it replaced \1 with a nifty square. [06:22] it might also be a non-printing (e.g., non-ASCII) character that sed is mangling because sed is kinda dumb sometimes [06:22] well \\1 worked as expected compared to \1. so ty regardless. [06:22] ever used fish shell? if you did you would know why this is so. [06:23] I'm a pwsh dude, and not a regular bash scripter so nope. [06:25] weq: what exactly are you trying to do? [06:26] it works as expected now, but it is a setup script that makes indepented certs with certbot. [06:26] so I take parts of the hostname and append our domain to get the FQDN so I can make the letsencrypt challenge. [06:27] which parts of the hostname? [06:27] I have a bunch of demo environments that we spin up all as their independent sites. So terraform + ubuntu + docker + letsencrypt + our applications = full demo site [06:28] srt-demo-11 => demo-11.domain.com [06:28] like, do you have a generic pattern for hostnames [06:28] domain=$(cat /etc/hostname | sed -e 's/srt-$.*$/\\1.scanreach.com/') [06:28] is what I ended up with. [06:28] is the domain name a known quantity ? [06:28] the terraform keeps track of that. [06:28] and is the "srt-" a guaranteed component of your demo instances? [06:29] yupp part of the terraform. [06:30] why not just do something like this instead: [06:30] hostname=$(uname -n | sed -i 's/^srt-//') [06:30] domain=${hostname}.${mydomain} [06:30] ? [06:30] no need now as it works. [06:31] but yeah that would do the trick as well I recon. [06:31] the proper solution is to not use echo [06:35] this is making a script on the host that gets used later as well so not really an option for this. [06:50] echo isn't the only way to output a string [06:53] cba to implement other methods now, but please do explain your preferred method of solving this when deploying vms in azure without having to resort to extra secrets. [06:54] how can i read motd message and exit from ssh in one command ? [06:55] add an RC file that does that and calls `exit 0` at the end [06:55] or if it's just a one-off thing [06:55] ssh user@server "exit" [06:56] ^^ or that [06:56] nr0q_radio: that does not work [06:56] it just exists without motd message [06:56] *exits [06:57] like you screen is clearing when you exit the SSH session? [06:58] weq: heredoc or printf would give consistent behavior, unlike echo [06:58] so there's a mechanism to suppress printing the MOTD if you've already signed in once [06:58] nr0q_radio: are you sure that's not messing with your expectations? ^^ [07:00] nr0q_radio: yes it just do not mess motd output with the command output. which is understandable , sometimes you need to run comannd on ssh host and get the output. cutting off motd each time would be a problem [07:01] ssh server cat /etc/motd [07:01] or is that cheating [07:01] osse: my ubuntu does not have that file. but still prints the status of the host when im logging inh [07:02] maybe ssh user@server "cat /etc/motd" [07:02] i do not have /etc/motd [07:02] ahh, what is generating your motd? [07:04] nr0q_radio: yeah thats interesting [07:04] im new to ubuntu [07:04] MOTD is autogenerated typically [07:04] I have an issue with snap - I see `135 Done today at 04:16 UTC today at 04:16 UTC Switch "lxd" snap to cohort "+"` several times in the snap changes log; this breaks lxd - and it happens again and again - anyone got an idea/hint what to google? [07:05] on my system it seems to be some sort of PAM magic [07:05] checking systemwide bashrc and /etc/profile [07:06] on our standard systems, MOTD is created via files in /etc/update-motd.d [07:07] klausfiend: thanks. i even found the file that generated a section of motd that i need [07:07] on most of my systems it's a file in one of a few places, depending on if it's Debian, CentOS, RHEL8 or FreeBSD [07:20] klausfiend: and how it's handled ? does systemd start these files ? [07:21] bob_x2: that i honestly can't remember, but i think whatever the de facto init system is responsible for executing those scriptlets [07:21] ok will ask on linux === javier is now known as Samy_NAcery === Samy_NAcery is now known as Samy_Nacery [07:35] hah! echo exit | ssh server [07:54] Hello, how can I automate the setup of multiple PC workstations with Ubuntu Desktop 20.04? [07:54] Can I use kickstart? [07:55] I have prepared ks.cfg file and re-imaged the ubuntu-desktop iso and I see in boot cmd, that ks= and ksdevice= options were used, but I still get the interactive graphical interface. Am I on the right track? === diskin is now known as Guest2126 === diskin_ is now known as diskin [08:03] What does `Switch "lxd" snap to cohort "+"` in the `snap changes` mean? [08:03] It seems to break my LXD cluster... [08:10] Anyone here know how to brute force diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 ? Maybe somehow with hydra? [08:12] swensson: while pentesting tools are on the ubuntu repos, we dont really support brute forcing here [08:14] Any suggestion where I can find this information? Google seems to be no help towards bruteforcing the dh14 [08:15] swensson: checkout the hydra manpage? [08:16] Seems to be unable find any related info [08:29] mdecker: https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/install/autoinstall-quickstart [08:29] does this also apply to ubuntu desktop or only for unbuntu-server? [08:29] both [08:30] different options, etc. but yes === dtomato77 is now known as dtomato [08:46] Funny, when I type "ubuntu i" into google, the first suggestion is "ubuntu install docker". Is docker the most popular application on Ubuntu now? [08:47] well, ubuntu is run on quite a number of servers, and servers tend to run a bunch of containers these days... [08:48] Yes, that might be the reason. Which would tell us that more people use Ubuntu on servers than on the desktop. === VIA is now known as MomSaisImSpecial === MomSaisImSpecial is now known as VIA [08:50] !discuss | no_gravity [08:50] no_gravity: Want to talk about Ubuntu, but don't have a support question? /join #ubuntu-discuss for non-support Ubuntu discussion, or try #ubuntu-offtopic for general chat. Thanks! [08:53] Looking at the results, it seems most people install docker not via the Ubuntu repos but add a docker repo to their sources. [08:53] What do you guys think of this? [08:57] klausfiend: where can I find the options possible for ubuntu desktop? [08:58] no_gravity: And installing docker isn't trivial on ubuntu, because the "obvious" attempt with apt install docker will install some window manager docker thing, so naturally people jump on google to find they need the docker.io package instead [08:59] geirha: I see. But it seems what they find instead is lots of articles how to install docker-ce via download.docker.com [09:01] What does `Switch "lxd" snap to cohort "+"` in the `snap changes` mean? - I'm a bit desperate here, since it just kills the cluster over and over and I have no clue what this is [09:01] *shrug* I guess they want bleeding edge. I just use the docker.io package. It's one of the few packages with SRU-exception, so it actually gets upgraded once in a while [09:02] geirha: sru-exception means it gets new features, not only bug fixes? [09:02] Yes. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Docker.io_group [09:03] I see. [09:04] Is docker.io the package that only installs the runtime or will it bring unnecessary stuff on top of it? [09:07] is there any snap/ubuntu server irc channel? [09:07] !snap [09:07] Snaps are containerised software packages similar to flatpaks or appimage. For more info, see https://snapcraft.io [09:07] !ubuntucore [09:07] Ubuntu Core is a version of Ubuntu with transactional updates completely built from snap packages (also see !snap). For discussion and support, please visit #snappy and see https://ubuntu.com/core [09:07] dn^ [09:08] no_gravity: It installs bash-completion stuff for the docker command which I find unnecessary, but otherwise it more or less just installs dockerd and the docker command to control it with. Don't know what other unnecessary stuff you are referring to [09:08] thank youy [09:09] geirha: I see. Thanks. [09:13] Since I don't know much about Ubuntu: Are Ubuntu released based on certain Debian releases? Like can you look up which Debian Ubuntu 20.04 is based on? [09:20] !debian | no_gravity [09:20] no_gravity: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See https://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu/ubuntu-and-debian - !Repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu! [09:20] no_gravity you can look at the file [09:21] /etc/debian_version [09:21] for your current version of Ubuntu [09:21] KBar: Cool, thanks! [09:21] np [09:24] Strange, in the list view of Nautilus on Ubuntu, there seems to be no way to create a folder. [09:24] New file I mean. [09:25] Neither is there one in the grid view. [09:25] no_gravity: you can create new files in /home/templates [09:26] lotuspsychje: Fine, but I want to create one in /some/funky/folder/ :) [09:26] no_gravity: alternate you can ctrl +l and do admin tasks with admin:/// in nautilus [09:27] Oh, its a rights issue? Lets see ... [09:28] Hmm.. I chowned the folder to me and hit F5 in nautilus. Still no "create file". [09:29] The same when I run nautilus as root. [09:29] create in templates and drag into funky? [09:29] Well that is not how I would like to live my life :) [09:31] IIRC gnome got rid of "New Document/File" context menu item a year or two ago. [09:32] they're putting all eggs in one basket, i.e. activities overview [09:32] KBar: How would that overview let the user create an empty file in /some/funky/folder/? [09:32] it wont. but you first choose an app [09:32] then create files/documents from there [09:33] to create an empty file, open terminal, cd /whatever/path, then "> my_file_name" [09:34] KBar: That is very cumbersome when you already have a nautilus window open at /some/funky/folder/ and want to create a file. [09:34] life is not that hard https://www.linuxuprising.com/2018/04/ubuntu-1804-add-new-document-nautilus.html [09:34] then [09:34] just open the folder in terminal [09:34] right-click, select terminal [09:34] "open in terminal" [09:35] terminal will open with working directory set to whatever you were browsing in Nautilus [09:36] Thats one hell of a strange workflow. [09:36] i know, but thats gnome for you [09:37] "staying out of the user's way" or whatever is their motto [09:40] :) [09:45] strange. the action is present in the source code [09:45] KBar: Link? [09:45] but disabled by default [09:46] sure. can i pm? [09:47] KBar: You cannot post the link here? [09:47] But sure, you can pm. [09:48] KBar: Thanks [09:48] KBar: Which line? [09:48] Oh, I see [09:51] Oh! I think it might be a config option. [09:52] Yeah. If you put an empty file in ~/Templates/ the option to create files in any place is back! [09:53] Hurray! [09:54] Guess office people use this to have templates like "New Offer", "New Invoice" etc. [09:55] well, the proper command would be "touch $(xdg-user-dir TEMPLATES)/New.txt" [09:55] the templates dir can be localized ... [09:56] that will create a plain text file [09:56] xdg-user-dir TEMPLATES will return the correct path [09:59] hello [09:59] hello and welcome. how can we help you? [10:00] jason: We have a lot to offer! Do you want to create an empy file? [10:00] where can i download NFS-payback [10:01] This channel is for Ubuntu support, jason.

You can open it in a texteditor let your creativity roam freely. [10:29] Hi @all. Here is someone who knows “subiquity” (new installer for Ubuntu server) and can tell me if it's possible to make a full automatic and *minimal* install of Ubuntu server, especially without snapd (in clear just with openssh-server installed)? Thx for your help. [10:31] flaf, perhaps something to ask in #ubuntu-server ... there is https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/install/autoinstall-quickstart [10:32] there are also discussions around this on https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/please-test-autoinstalls-for-20-04/15250 [10:32] ogra: ok, good idea. I didn't know the chan #ubuntu-server. Let's go. Thx. [10:32] But snap is the future [10:32] Says Canonical [10:32] :) [10:32] Lumpio-, link to the quote ? [10:32] It's heavily implied by their actions [10:33] it is just another package format ... [10:34] ...it's a pretty big step away from just installing files onto your computer like .deb, .rpm, pacman, whatever [10:34] Lumpio-: maybe... but the principle to me is not to necessarily remove snapd (maybe I will use it), the principle is to make fully automatic and _*minimal*_ installation of Ubuntu servers. ;) [10:34] Lumpio-, you mean snaps do not install files ? [10:36] If you don't like, don't use it. Since Ubuntu is Debian-based, .deb packages will keep working. [10:36] If you call mounting a squashfs "installing" the package files on your computer, sure [10:36] And also sandboxing everything in some bizarre way that keeps breaking in weird and wonderful ways [10:36] well, this is how squashfs files work ... [10:36] Sure [10:37] It's a bit different from just installing files onto my filesystem like a normal package manager and starting a process [10:37] KBar: That's the best response to any criticism :+1: [10:37] yes, it saves space and is more secure (completely readonal, so a hacker can not tinkler with it) [10:37] *readonly [10:38] I don't think this channel is for criticism and sarcastic remarks, sir. === edro is now known as edr [10:41] No criticism allowed sounds pretty draconian [10:41] well, this is a support channel ...

Is there a way to progress? [11:19] Programs in /bin and /sbin are actually sym-links to /usr/bin and /usr/sbin, respectively. It looks like your system cannot execute its programs. [11:21] You probably have to include the new path in $PATH [11:29] If you can, that is. [11:29] so something required to mount /usr is actually on /usr, because the mounting needs things under /bin or /sbin that are actually symlinks to things under /usr. If that's so then surely messing with PATH won' help? === mIk3_09 is now known as mIk3_08 [11:41] most of the disk use under /usr is actually in /usr/lib; I guess I could try just moving that to a new partition instead, maybe that'll mount without problems [11:47] Hi all [12:21] Hey folks. Where do I see the $DISPLAY variable of some user? [12:24] Ahh, of course: Ubuntu is using Wayland! :) [12:24] topoi, only in the latest release though [12:27] Is there something I need to know for transition regarding the usual VNC foo? [12:28] (It might be sort of offtopic, but I'll give it a try :) [12:28] yes, VNC wont work with wayland currently [12:28] Ohh! [12:28] That's news for me. [12:28] due to waylands security model ... [12:28] windows can not spy on other windows [12:29] unlike in Xorg [12:29] Well, I never used VNC without ssh forwarding.. : / [12:29] i think there is some RDP support though [12:29] Is it easy to transition from wayland back to xorg? [12:30] https://wayland.freedesktop.org/faq.html [12:30] there are some comments on VNC/RDP [12:31] so there is a builtin "remote desktop" server in gnome itself: https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Mutter/RemoteDesktop [12:32] to switch back to Xorg you just need to pick it at the login manager [12:32] from the little gear after you selected the user [12:32] Ahh, I see. Thank you, very helpful. [12:42] ogra: Strange. I already had gnome-remote-desktop installed and the files are there but the system including systemd seems to know nothing about it. :S [12:44] topoi, i think there is a setting under "sharing" in the settings app [12:46] ogra: I'm headless. :) [12:47] well, perhaps there is a dconf/gsettings option to enable it, not sure [12:51] I don't understand why there is /usr/lib/systemd/user/gnome-remote-desktop.service but "systemctl status gnome-remote-desktop.service" says it could not be found. [12:51] systemctl daemon-reload doesn't help either. [12:52] topoi, because it is a part of the user session [12:52] systemctl status --user gnome-remote-desktop.service [12:55] Ohh, I did not even know that existed. My apologies. [12:56] i fear that wont help with headless though ... it needs a graphical session per-user to be shared === doforlove33 is now known as Wladimir [12:57] That's good to know! :D [13:01] ogra: Ohh wait, there is a graphical user session, but I want to connect remote. That ain't pure headlessness, I guess? [13:02] topoi, well, can you access that session locally temporary ? then you could just switch on the RDP/VNC server [13:18] ogra: I have no physical access at the moment. It's not possible to start that remotely with root? [13:18] no idea [13:20] It was so easy with xorg. : ) [13:20] back in the days everything was better ! [13:21] * ogra shakes his cane [13:28] what continent you guys at [13:29] !ot | jason [13:29] jason: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please register with NickServ (see /msg ubottu !register) and use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [13:37] I didn't say, _everything_ was better.. it's sometimes just hard to adopt that fast. On debian btw. xorg seems still to be the default even in bullseye. [13:44] While on evil mode, going to org-agenda schedule in an `*Org Agenda*` buffer shows the current state as 'Emacs State' () as the evil state and the usual evil key bindings dont' work there. Is there a way to evil bindings there as well? What is the emacs state? [13:45] famubu: you probably want #emacs [13:45] famubu: or explain what "evil mode" and "org-agenda" are [13:46] Oops! Sorry. [13:46] I meant emacs channel. [13:47] how do i make it so my wlp1s0 always uses specific nameservers, and the settings survive reboot? I don't want dhcp to set my nameservers. [13:47] devios: change it in network manager [13:48] devios: what version of ubuntu? [13:48] Hello! In Mint, when I press ctrl+alt+right-arrow, that moves the current window to the next workspace. Is there a key combo like this in Ubuntu? [13:48] !mint | beuys [13:48] beuys: The Ubuntu channels can only provide support for Ubuntu and its official flavors, since other distributions and derivatives have repository and software changes. So please use their dedicated support venues, for example: Linux Mint (#linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org), Kali Linux (#kali-linux), and LXLE (#lxle) [13:49] leftyfb, 20.04 [13:49] oh, sorry [13:49] beuys: you can go to the keyboard settings in order to see and change the different hotkeys in ubuntu [13:49] leftyfb: Ok, let me rephrase the question without mentioning Mint ... [13:50] Is there a key combo in Ubunut that moves the current window to the next workspace? [13:50] yes [13:50] beuys: you can go to the keyboard settings in order to see and change the different keyboard shortcuts in ubuntu [13:51] I found it! [13:51] Shift+Window-Key+Page-Down [13:53] leftyfb, thanks. i see how to manually set the nameservers for a specific wifi network, but how do i make it so i use specific nameservers regardless of wifi network, and make that setting survive reboots. [13:54] devios: you don't [13:55] devios: Have a look in /etc/resolv.conf [13:55] beuys: that file will always get overwritten [13:56] any answer that includes /etc/resolv.conf is nowadays in 99% of the cases the wrong answer to resolution issues [13:57] devios: I do not think there is a way to always use the same nameserver across any and all networks, while also ignoring whatever nameserver gets assigned via DHCP [13:57] leftyfb: Take a look at the comment in /etc/resolv.conf. It says replacing it with a static file gives you control over it. === genii-core is now known as genii [13:58] beuys: see ogra's comment [13:59] devios: why do you think you need this ability? [14:03] He is a free man. He wants to chose which nameserver his computer uses. [14:05] beuys: and if they join a network that doesn't allow access to his manually configured nameserver? [14:06] some hotspots aren't going to function at all due to forcing your own nameserver, you won't even be able to get to the portal page [14:06] He will do what a man has to do. Decide on his own how to deal with it. [14:06] beuys: ok, you're not helping. [14:07] devios: A somewhat fragile way involves adding the nameserver config to either head or tail in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/. This appends the config to the generated /etc/resolv.conf. That way you don't have to control the resolv.conf file completely. [14:07] It is up to our man devios to decide what helps him. [14:07] It does kick the can down the road, though. You may end up overriding systemd-resolved and have future issues. I'm not sure how to tell systemd-resolved nameserver priority. [14:07]
