GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 796577
gnome-control-center network panel missing DNS search entry
Last modified: 2021-06-09 16:32:42 UTC
Originally reported to Ubuntu, Bug #1768078. The Unity network panel offered a means to set DNS search data on fixed IP connections maintained via NetworkManager in /etc/NetworkManager/system-coonections/<NAME> dns-search variable. This feature is absent in Ubuntu 18.04 Gnome's gnome-control-center network panel. Lack of the feature means the dns-search variable is unset which also causes /etc/resolv.conf to leave the search to be unset. This is unacceptable in a assigned IP address Enterprise environment. One workaround is to manually edit the NetworkManager system-connections file after its creation to set the variable.

GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new bug report at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
