greycat: how to check?
greycat 2017-03-07 09:46:32
You just did. It's not -> /etc/alternatives/antlr3 or anything like that.
ngong 2017-03-07 09:49:03
ls -la /etc/alternatives | grep antlr -- gave no result

resolv.conf is rewritten after every reboot, debian fresh install, dns-nameservers in interfaces, but it won't write them in resolv.conf, keeps overwritten with some ipv6 nameserver
Phoenix007 2017-03-07 09:50:30
apt-get install resolvconf does not help either ...
greycat 2017-03-07 09:53:05
By default on a DHCP client system, resolv.conf is overwritten every time the DHCP client daemon updates your IP address. There are various ways to stop that from happening.
greycat 2017-03-07 09:53:19
Installing resolvconf is absolutely NOT one of the ways I would choose.
Phoenix007 2017-03-07 10:09:53
fresh install debian (cli only, no gui): resolv.conf keeps being overwritten and inside it some ipv6 nameserver (I don't use ipv6)
ngong 2017-03-07 10:10:15
greycat: https://paste.debian.net/hidden/96e51fe8/ is the mail I got about it. Thank you. Now that I know the source of the problem I will find a solution.
Phoenix007 2017-03-07 10:11:05
Whatever solution google gave me ... it does not work ...
Dagger 2017-03-07 10:11:05
there shouldn't be any problem with using a v6 nameserver though?
somiaj 2017-03-07 10:11:05
Phoenix007: if you can't figure out what is overwriting that, resolvconf or openresolv may help you.
TechSmurf 2017-03-07 10:11:37
Got a weird one.. fuse stopped working on one of my systems. Modprobe won't load it, throws an error at dmesg: fuse: Unknown symbol setattr_prepare (err 0)
Phoenix007 2017-03-07 10:11:54
somiaj: installing resolvconf did not help either. Will try openresolv. It's strang that a fresh install installs something that keeps overwriting resolv.conf ...
greycat 2017-03-07 10:13:00
It's normal for DHCP clients to constantly overwrite resolv.conf.
TechSmurf 2017-03-07 10:13:21
Googling suggests this has to do with upgrading the package or upgrading the kernel or both, without having rebooted to load the new kernel.
greycat 2017-03-07 10:14:00
If you don't like the editing dhclient.conf approach, there's always the brute force "chattr +i resolv.conf" sledgehammer.
Phoenix007 2017-03-07 10:14:55
I've configured a static ip-address, I don't use DHCP addresses ...
TechSmurf 2017-03-07 10:14:55
Hoooowever... rebooting isn't an option.
greycat 2017-03-07 10:14:55
Phoenix007: did you remember to kill the dhclient daemon?
ewew 2017-03-07 10:14:55
anyone ?
greycat 2017-03-07 10:14:55
(alternative, ifdown eth0 before you edit interfaces; alternative, reboot)
Phoenix007 2017-03-07 10:14:55
greycat: How do I do that ? I've just started using linux for 7 day's ... :s
somiaj 2017-03-07 10:14:55
Phoenix007: you may have to configure resolvconf to set a static nameserver, openresolv wno't just work without configuration either.
greycat 2017-03-07 10:15:28
Phoenix007: ps auxw | grep dhc
Dagger 2017-03-07 10:16:04
the DNS server is probably coming from RDNSS... but really we're a bit past the point of "I don't use v6". it's time to be using it
greycat 2017-03-07 10:16:59
Dagger: uh huh. Yeah, sure.
greycat 2017-03-07 10:16:59
Every couple years I see one of those web sites where you test to see whether you have IPv6 and every time, it says No, I do not.
Dagger 2017-03-07 10:17:10
greycat: congratulations. but the person we're talking to *does* have v6
Phoenix007 2017-03-07 10:17:29
I never used ipv6, my provider does not do ipv6 and I don't use a tunnelbroker or something ...
jasonwc 2017-03-07 10:17:32
greycat: In case your curious, I was able to get gdm3 to autologin with a passwordless user and then load a custom session with just OpenPHT (Plex Home Theater). The key was this - http://unlearningwindows.jonesmz.com/2013/10/how-to-set-default-user-session-in-gdm.html?m=1
jasonwc 2017-03-07 10:17:47
greycat: The other howtos said to modify .dmrc which no longer does anything
greycat 2017-03-07 10:18:04
jasonwc: your original question led me to believe that you did *not* want the system default X session to change....
jasonwc 2017-03-07 10:18:48
greycat: Must have been some confusion then. I was trying to change from the default (cinammon) to my custom session with just OpenPHT.
greycat 2017-03-07 10:19:46
10:39 jasonwc> How do I change the default Desktop Environment for a user?
jasonwc 2017-03-07 10:21:02
greycat: My word usage was not precise. I meant session - i.e. the *.default selections in /usr/share/xsessions
Dagger 2017-03-07 10:21:02
Phoenix007: you mean Ziggo? it looks like they do (what IP is it that you're getting in /etc/resolve.conf? if it's one belong to your ISP then that's a pretty strong hint that they do v6)
greycat 2017-03-07 10:21:02
jasonwc: the relevant part is "for a user". You actually wanted system-wide, so the previous suggestion to use update-alternatives would also have worked.
somiaj 2017-03-07 10:21:02
Phoenix007: if you are getting ipv6 from dhcp, your network at least has some things configured for it.
jasonwc 2017-03-07 10:21:11
greycat: Actually, the howto I linked is for a user. Each user has their own config file with its own default. I made the change per user. I didn't want to do it system wide.
jasonwc 2017-03-07 10:21:20
I want my main user to login to a normal desktop (Gnome)
greycat 2017-03-07 10:22:23
OK then.
jasonwc 2017-03-07 10:23:13
greycat: In any case, it was easy to accomplish. The problem appears to be poor documentation.
wateva 2017-03-07 10:24:27
help, i can't upgrade pkg login 1:4.2-3+deb8u1 cause /bin/sh being locked by /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc and /usr/bin/start-pulseaudio-x11. what to do?
Phoenix007 2017-03-07 10:24:29
Ziggo does ip6, but only for bussines, not for home customers ... they can't / won't get it working ...
greycat 2017-03-07 10:26:04
/bin/sh should be a symlink. I can't see how that would be "locked".
wateva 2017-03-07 10:27:28
greycat: sorry noob question. but it gives error unable to install new version of `/bin/su': Device or resource busy
ewew 2017-03-07 10:27:30
Does someone know ?
greycat 2017-03-07 10:27:36
sh and su are very different.

greycat 2017-03-07 10:29:45
wateva: if /bin/su (NOT /bin/sh) is being fucked with by your desktop environment, what I would do is log out of the desktop environment, and do that upgrade on a text console.

{alexanderrr: there is no such file on a standard debian system. that cgi file could be anything at all.
teraflops 2017-03-07 10:38:35
not really
Phoenix007 2017-03-07 10:41:05
Does any one know which process is changing resolv.conf .. I want to kill that process ... it can't be this hard I think ?
Dagger 2017-03-07 10:41:33
as I hinted, it's probably rdnssd
Dagger 2017-03-07 10:41:46
but unless there's actually a problem, just leave it alone. it's perfectly fine to use a v6 DNS server...
greycat 2017-03-07 10:42:04

Klaus_Dieter 2017-03-07 10:43:02
Phoenix007: resolvconf it is mostly.
somiaj 2017-03-07 10:43:21
TechSmurf: what version of debian are you using? Why don't you want the current kernel with the security fisxes?
greycat 2017-03-07 10:43:23
