I sometimes switch DNS servers, using the NetworkManager indicator in the taskbar; this worked fine with previous versions, and actually works fine with 12.04, too, except for one thing: I use Conky to display some system information, including the DNS address, and I noticed that it is now always displaying 127.0.0.1
.
I looked in resolv.conf
, which is where it gets this address, and sure enough, that's what it always says. I has a single line, with the admonishment not to edit the file by hand:
nameserver 127.0.0.1
The only way I know to check the DNS server address now is to open the network manager GUI to check the info page. So, where is this information stored now?
