After the 10.9 upgrade, name resolution is not working for me. Does anyone else see this?

My desktop is a wifi server for laptop access using windows. That works OK but the server, attached by ethernet to the DSL modem does not get names resolved since the upgrade. The resolvconf program is not installed according to whereis.

# cat /etc/resolv.conf
domain attlocal.net
search attlocal.net
nameserver 192.168.1.254


Have you done a cold reboot since upgrading Debian?


Do the following commands indicate everything is up to date?

# apt-get update

# apt-get upgrade


Have you changed any of the gateway settings recently?


Please verify that the DNS proxy server on the gateway is working by testing name resolution with another computer.


I have a ~2007 Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop with Debian 10:

2021-03-30 22:29:53 dpchrist@dipsy ~
$ cat /etc/debian_version ; uname -a
10.9
Linux dipsy 4.19.0-16-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.19.181-1 (2021-03-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux


I have AT&T U-verse residential VDSL service. When I connect the E1505 to the gateway via Ethernet and DHCP:

Both IPv4 and IPv6 "nameserver" addresses correspond to the LAN side of the gateway. ('*' is for redacted characters.)


If that's not the right nameserver then what is?

$ ping google.com

# systemctl status systemd-resolved
shows it being active and "Processing requests...".

Nothing in history.log and term.log is obviously wrong to me FWIW.

# journalctl -b0
gives no clue to me.

No doubt it is something simple(tm). Where should I look or what should I re-read?


Please run the following commands. Use Ctrl+C to interrupt any commands that hang. Reply with your complete console session -- prompts, keystrokes entered, and output displayed. Redact as desired:

$ cat /etc/debian_version ; uname -a

$ nmcli g status

$ nmcli c show

$ nmcli d show
