Have you tried changing the symlink '/etc/resolv.conf' from '/run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf' to '/run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf'?

This worked for me:

I believe that systemd-resolved will change the link to /etc/resolv.conf on the next restart. If you're going to use Network Manager, you need to make the DNS changes there. I've restarted the computer several times since changing /etc/resolv.conf to point to /etc/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf, and t...

127.0.0.53 is used by systemd-resolved; mine shows the same thing. What does nmcli device show return? Exactly the same whether name resolution is working or not. Before changing the /etc/resolv.conf symlink (name resolution not working): ll /etc/resolv.conf lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Nov 3 16:32 /e...

Ok, it seems that systemd-resolved creates two files each with different nameserver info, /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf and /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf, the contents of which are as follows: /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf lists a nameserver 127.0.0.53. Why? No idea. It's obviousl...

I have a local network of (currently) six computers. One is running dnsmasq in Ubuntu Server 16.04 to provide static addresses and host names for the network client computers. Client computers running Linux Mint 18.3 XFCE resolve local host names perfectly without any manual configuration required. ...

Yeah, I'd go back to version whatever of Firefox in a heartbeat. Haven't figured out how, yet. I use PaleMoon browser ( http://www.palemoon.org// ) for most of my browsing. It's a fork of Firefox that's sticking with XUL addons. Linux builds are available from the PaleMoon forum at https://forum.pa...

Have you the updated the grub menu by doing 'sudo update-grub'? Changes to '/etc/default/grub' do not become active until you do so.

I tried on the server "sudo chown -R -H leigh:/leigh/media/documents" with the response chown: missing operand after 'leigh:/leigh/media/documents' Try 'chown --help' for more information so I tried "sudo chown -R -H leigh:/media/documents" with the same response If I run showmount on the ip addres...

Sorry, I was just using the /home..Documents thing as an example. So the mount point for the Documents drive is /media/documents. The 'chown' command takes the form 'chown -R -H userid /path/to/folder' or 'chown -R -H userid:usergroup /path/to/folder' so for /media/documents it will be 'sudo chown -...

as you can see, I tried varying options with no luck. What am I doing wrong? Using sshfs to login automatically requires using public key security instead of a password. Here's the first example I found for Ubuntu: https://www.thomas-krenn.com/en/wiki/SSH_public_key_authentication_under_Ubuntu Linu...

So, can you please spell out what I would need to do to set up my server (first) with shares to the "Documents" drive and the "Downloads" drive. No problem. It's been a couple of years since I set up my NFS server, but hopefully I won't go too far wrong. I use my NFS to have common home folders for...

A good place to start would be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compariso ... b_browsers. Scroll down to the sections on standards compliance: Acid scores, HTML5 support, Web technology support. etc.

Did you have any particular network file system in mind? Samba (Windows networking) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samba_%28software%29 This should be simple but I've occasionally had odd problems running a Samba network system. NFS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_File_System See https://help.u...

I routinely use Darktable ( https://www.darktable.org/ ) for photographic processing. I also use Darktable for tethered shooting using my Nikon DSLR. Darktable is free and open source. It is a very powerful program: raw image processing, lens corrections, presets for various cameras, etc. For other ...

There is another email provider that seems to be unpopular these days: Yahoo. I don't use it for anything particularly important, but there is one thing about Yahoo that I really like: Using a Yahoo email account, I can create up to 500 disposable email addresses that are not simply a variation of m...

I'm not familiar with TbSync, but I've used Thunderbird with Lightning for many years without a problem. My first idea is to try temporarily disabling the TbSync addon and restarting Thunderbird. That should at least help to narrow down your search for a cause. If the freeze disappears with TbSync d...

I installed from the command line using apt-get install. I can open Synaptic and see things installed using it, but not things I installed using the command line. I don't understand how that is possible. Synaptic is a front-end for apt. Anything installed via apt-get install should be displayed as ...

And, it's not all of the .pdfs I am having trouble with -- just some -- some never open, and others are just slow to open. Have tried deleting old .pdf and rescanning the documents (as a new .pdf), but even that doesn't help. Do you have a PDF viewer installed - apart from Firefox, I mean? If you r...

Sorry, I should have been more explicit. I was referring to the preferences in Firefox. I'm using Firefox ESR 52, but I think they use the same menu paths. So in my Firefox it looks like this:

Try 'dpkg --list' - but be warned it could be a very long list. To make it more manageable, it's probably better to combine it with 'less' so you can page up and down through the list: 'dpkg --list | less'.
