Re: Wpa_supplicant is connected but no internet access

It looks like my resolv.conf file is a link ???
I don't have any idea how this happened.  And remember, the system was working fine a week or so ago, so it's not an install problem.
Does anybody know what should be in the resolv.conf file ?

----------------------------------------

[kkoceski@kkhostname ~]$ ls -l /etc/resolv*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root  28 Mar 13 05:17 /etc/resolv.conf -> /var/run/coolv.conf

[kkoceski@kkhostname ~]$ more /etc/resolv*

Re: Wpa_supplicant is connected but no internet access

I got my problem solved.
I renamed /etc/resolv.conf to /etc/resolv_broke.conf ( this was the link )
Then I vi'ed /etc/resolv.conf and added only

nameserver 192.168.0.1

in that file.   This worked !!!
However, now when I look at the file, "# Generated by resolvconf" has been added to it, so it is now :

# Generated by resolvconf
nameserver 192.168.0.1

So, something else would probably have fixed it if I had only done the rename.  Anyway, I'm back in business - Thanks !!!

Alternatively, simply use:

# systemctl enable systemd-resolved --now

and edit /etc/systemd/resolved.conf to add the chosen nameservers.

See systemd-resolved.service(8) & resolved.conf(5)
