My recently purchased e6220 barebones (no os, no hdd) from a local Goodwill Store is having some issues. Sometimes when I attempt to perform a shutdown it sits and hangs. But I am hampered in my troubleshooting efforts due to revocery mode name resolution not working. I cannot easily fix broken packages or install new software. I am able to boot into recovery mode, but when I attempt to enable networking I get error messages that /etc/resolv.conf was not found, even though I can list them using ls there is no content. I tried running updatedb and ldconftig. to try and verify that resolv.conf was not there.
Code: Select all
I tried: touch /etc/resolv.conf
Code: Select all
echo "nameserver name of server and ip address" > /etc/resolv.conf
Code: Select all
echo "domain Home" >> /etc/resolv.conf
Apparently, systemd did not want to start up the resolver:
Code: Select all
systemctl start resolvconf.service
I realize that it might be that recovery mode networking is only suppose to work over ethernet connection. But that is what I am trying to do. I get an ip address from my verizon router. I just cannot get dns resolving to function. Can anybody shed some light on this issue for me. I have be searching this site surprisingly noone that I can find gets these errors.
