Hi.

I wonder how I set the DNS nameserver when using static IP.

I tried to include dns-nameservers in the interface file, but resolv.conf won't be updated.

If I use DHCP, then the resolv.conf will be updated.

Thanks,

Niklas

Have You tried the following ?

# echo nameserver 8.8.8.8 >> /etc/resolv.conf

or

# echo nameserver 8.8.8.8 > /etc/resolv.conf


It works under i.MX6 Ubuntu demo image. 

Best regards

Yuri

Hi Yuri.

I'm trying to avoid to add external script to update the resolv.conf, since it should be done from the information in the interface file.

Best regards,

Niklas
