My resolv.conf file has 'nameserver 127.0.0.53'.
I need to replace it with different value or add another nameserver.
I erased symlink, replaced it with file.
Now it is managed by Network Manager,
but 127.0.0.53 is restored upon reboot.
I need to keep changes, I made.
If I configure network interface in 'interfaces' file,
it becomes 'UNMANAGED' in Network Manager. It's configuration has no effect, though.
This question is related HERE.
Guys, If it is not so much trouble, will you, please, read.
Before I perform any 'ping' or 'host', I have to get through that LOGIN procedure.
My main problem is there. What I am trying to do here is to create a kind of work around.
Adding ANY nameserver except 127.0.0.53 or 0.0.0.0 into resolv.conf makes that thing working.
Network DNS is 192.168.11.1. I inserted 192.168.0.1 and it worked. You name it – it goes. But changing settings in Network Manager has no effect at all.
@heynnema, I did those settings in IPV4 tab before I rose the question, but unfortunately, they did not work.
/etc/network/interfaces file is intact,
UBUNTU 18.10 is clean installed.
I edited the file for the sake of creating a router in DEBIAN, and I saw how it worked. I do not want it to be the same way here.
@Marmayogi my DNS is 192.168.11.1, the same one is in /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf. I was surprised to see it there.
Yes, @Marmayogi, my goal is to get that screen.
On UNITY 18.04 this file does not exist, but it does not change much.

Yes @Marmayogi, this is the only thing I want working for now. This solution seems aukward to me, though. There was a symlink, as you can see in other post. I removed it, hoping that I would get things working for me.
@Marmayogi, you did a Great job, creating that step by step instruction.
Your solution is GENIUS, not decent!
I tested. Login successful, internet works.
@heynnema,
/run/resolvconf/resolv.conf
does not exist on UBUNTU 18.10.
What would you advise in this situation?
System is installed clean from ISO, downloaded from UBUNTU.COM.

To display what network interfaces are available in the system, issue the following command:
$ ip link show
Figure-39: The WiFi network adapter wlp5s0 is active, up and running.
Network configuration file
/etc/netplan/.yaml
should be checked for configuration details. To display the contents of the file, issue the following command:$ cat /etc/netplan/01-network-manager-all.yaml
Figure-40: Network Manager file 01-network-manager-all.yaml is not configured yet.
Find out whether
/etc/resolv.conf
is a static file orsymlink
by the following command:$ ls -l /etc/resolv.conf
Figure-41: File /etc/resolv.conf is a symlink pointing to stub file 'stub-resolv.conf'.
In fact, @igor, the symlink what you removed from other post was really the link to stub file
stub-resolv.conf
.After severed the symlink between
/etc/resolv.conf
andstub-resolv.conf
which carried the nameserver127.0.0.53
,/etc/resolv.conf
was left alone and it was you who made/etc/resolv.conf
as a static file!The fact is, @Igor, you were not really offered any solution by that act of severance.
Now, display contents of
/etc/resolv.conf
by the command:$ cat /etc/resolv.conf
Figure-42: The contents of symlink '/etc/resolv.conf' having 127.0.0.53 as nameserver.
The dns shown by
/etc/resolv.conf
, is127.0.0.53
but not the default nameserver configured fordhcp
.Issue the following command to find out the default dns server:
$ systemd-resolve --status wlp5s0
Figure-43: The default DNS server for WiFi network adapter is 192.168.43.1.
Display contents of
/run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf
, by the command:$ cat /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf
Figure-44: The contents of '/run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf' indicating default nameserver.
From figure-44, you can observe that
/run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf
is the one which really is carrying the default name server192.168.43.1
.Issue the following command to change the symlink
/etc/resolv.conf
to point default dns server192.168.43.1
instead of127.0.0.53
.Figure-45: File /etc/resolv.conf is a symlink pointing to default nameserver.
After setting up sysmlink as shown in figure-45, you must make sure that your Wi-Fi is connected, up and running, by issuing the following command:
$ nmcli device
Figure-45-a: Wi-Fi network interface adapter 'wlp5s0' is connected, up and running.
Conclusion:
Under the circumstances, the symlink is the not only best answer you got but also a decent and acceptable solution.
