The different symlinks/files provide different options. /etc/resolv.conf is a symlink to /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf so /etc/resolv.conf has "127.0.0.53" and "search" resolved forwards queries to the upstream server /etc/resolv.conf is a symlink to /usr/lib/systemd/resolv.conf so /etc/resolv.conf has "127.0.0.53" resolved forwards queries to the upstream server /etc/resolv.conf is a symlink to /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf so /etc/resolv.conf has "upstream server" and "search" resolved only creates this file as if it were "resolvconf" /etc/resolv.conf is a file so resolved uses the configured "server" and "search" as its "upstream server" and "search" I doubt that anyone would want resolved to create/modify the symlinks depending on "/etc/systemd/resolved.conf". Sam's idea of using the "alternatives" infrastrucure would be better. But that would create other problems. Assume that you're using networkd and resolved. If you install NetworkManager, the preferred, higher-priority alternative'll be "/run/NetworkManager/resolv.conf" whether you want it or not. > Also spotted this on the Arch Wiki > > "systemd-resolved will work out of the box with a network manager > using /etc/resolv.conf.

Sure, but this isn't the problem here. When you upgrade from F32 to F33, the systemd post-install script enables resolved and creates a resolved symlink. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
