Hello All,

I have been following the recent emails regarding resolv.conf. I almost have my system running perfectly. The only thing I am missing is the population of IPv6 DNS addresses.

sudo less /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf 
supersede domain-name "home.arpa";
supersede dhcp6.domain-search "home.arpa";
supersede dhcp6.name-servers 2001:4860:4860::8888, 2001:4860:4860::8844;
supersede domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4;

sudo less /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
[main]
plugins=ifupdown,keyfile

[ifupdown]
managed=false

[global-dns]
searches=home.arpa

sudo less /etc/NetworkManager/system-connections/Pixel5.nmconnection

[ipv4]
dns=8.8.4.4,8.8.8.8;
dns-search=home.arpa;
ignore-auto-dns=true 
#I tried with this on, commented out and set to false
may-fail=false
method=auto

[ipv6]
addr-gen-mode=stable-privacy
dns=2001:4860:4860::8888,2001:4860:4860::8844;
dns-search=home.arpa;
ignore-auto-dns=true 
#I tried with this on, commented out and set to false
may-fail=false
method=auto

sudo less /etc/resolv.conf
domain home.arpa
search home.arpa
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4

For some reason I am not getting any IPv6 Name Servers populated.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

Why not use NetworkManagers internal DHCP client.  

That is what I have done and then I don't need dhclient or dhcpcd.

I am not sure that you are really using dhclient as NetworkManager has not been set to use dhclient from the configuration that you have posted.


I know it is using dhclient because I typod the domain name supersede domain-name "home.apra"; and it populated .apra in resolv.conf.
 

What is the output from:

NetworkManager --print-config

Notice in the following dhcp=internal in my configuration

NetworkManager --print-config


sudo NetworkManager --print-config
# NetworkManager configuration: /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf (lib: no-mac-addr-change.conf)
