Bug Description

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-965P-DQ6 AMD64
Distribution: Kubuntu 7.04 Desktop AMD64 (fresh installation)
Going into K->System Settings->Network Connections->Domain Name System->Domain Name Servers, one has the facility to enter DNS addresses in Administrator Mode.
One can do this, and they will apply for that session with no problems.
However, on rebooting, these DNS addresses are lost, being are replaced by 192.168.0.2
This did not happen when I ran 6.10 on the same machine.

There seems to be a workaround which I stumbled upon somewhere herein. Thanks! One can enter DNS name-servers by adding the following line to /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf:

prepend domain-name-servers 192.168.60.1, 172.16.254.2;

(The name-servers above are obviously examples)

Those name servers will always be placed first in /etc/resolve.conf

It has worked for me so far with no apparent ill side-effects.

Setting to incomplete. We still need to figure out which component is at fault, kdeadmin, network-manager? Also, are you still seeing this on gutsy?

Changed in kdeadmin:
importance: Undecided → Low
status: New → Incomplete

I would say it is network manager as my current bug that I have on this issue does not involve kdeadmin at all. The bug is:
