DNS Number?

How do you changed the dns number in Q4OS may I ask?

Observe I went into file /etc/systemd/resolved.conf as folows

[Resolve]
DNS=8.8.8.8
DNS=8.8.4.4

made the change at the bottom as you can see with the google dns numbes

Usually in other debian systems I would have went into /etc/resolvconf but this system seems to be set up different.

Here is what is in that file as follows in /etc/resolvconf/update-libc.d/avahi-daemon

#!/bin/sh
#
# If we have an unicast .local domain, we immediately disable avahi to avoid
# conflicts with the multicast IP4LL .local domain

if [ -x /usr/lib/avahi/avahi-daemon-check-dns.sh ]; then
  exec /usr/lib/avahi/avahi-daemon-check-dns.sh
fi

I could reinstall resolvconf then it would show the folder I usually go into and change the dns but I am not sure of myself on this one. So what is the proper way?

Re: DNS Number?

Network settings, including DHCP and DNS, in Q4OS are controlled by Network manager. You can force NM to drop control of a network device by configuring the device in /etc/network/interfaces file, please see https://wiki.debian.org/NetworkConfiguration
