**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Wed Jun 16 02:59:56 2010 Jun 16 07:48:08 how do I configure angstrom to use a specific gateway and dhcp server? /etc/resolv.conf seems to reset after a fresh reboot and I can't find how to set the gateway persistently Jun 16 07:56:13 and by dhcp I of course mean dns... :) Jun 16 11:20:53 serp_: did you find an answer yet ? Jun 16 11:21:01 nope Jun 16 11:21:14 how about /etc/network/interfaces ? Jun 16 11:22:16 http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/karmic/man5/interfaces.5.html Jun 16 11:27:57 I can set gateway there, but not dns server Jun 16 11:29:06 you can invoke a pre or post up command there Jun 16 11:29:12 how about an post-up command? Jun 16 11:29:47 but the dns server shouldn't be tied to the interface... there has to be a proper way of setting it Jun 16 11:30:10 dm8tbr: ha! Jun 16 11:30:16 on any other computer it is /etc/resolv.conf, but angstrom resets that file for some reason Jun 16 11:30:27 dcordes: :) Jun 16 11:33:46 serp_: dhcp might overwrite resolv.conf Jun 16 11:34:27 I don't use dhcp though Jun 16 11:35:19 ok Jun 16 11:35:27 /etc/resolve.conf is actually a link to /var/run/resolv.conf, which sounds like something non-persistant Jun 16 11:36:25 rm /etc/resolv.conf; vi /etc/reolv.conf ? Jun 16 11:37:02 that gets corrupted on next boot Jun 16 11:37:35 just grep the init scripts. one will be the culprit Jun 16 11:37:36 I mean like get rid of the link and make it normal file. Jun 16 11:38:23 dcordes: that's what I did, but it gets corrupted the next boot. filled with binary data Jun 16 11:38:46 oh ok Jun 16 11:39:02 strange Jun 16 13:44:16 etc/resolv.conf link is created in /etc/default/volatiles/00_core Jun 16 13:48:23 what would be the proper way to add a nameserver by default? Jun 16 13:49:00 it feels very strange to modify some default setup scripts.. I mean, there is probably a reason why /etc/resolv.conf is not a regular file Jun 16 13:54:12 I don't know when it would be a ' proper' way. Currently it seems to be equipped for using with dhcp, as the /etc/udhcpc.d/50default seems to fill the /etc/resolv.conf Jun 16 13:55:23 I ninja'd /etc/default/volatiles/00_core to stop messing around with /etc/resolv.conf and just made it a regular file Jun 16 13:55:28 it works like I want it now. thanks all **** ENDING LOGGING AT Thu Jun 17 02:59:56 2010
