How to make name server address permanent in /etc/resolv.conf?
I can not retain name server address I set via /etc/resolv.conf. Every time I set the value, the network manager overrides it with default gateway on reboot.
How to set it right?
I would prefer a way other than changing name server in router.

nameserver 8.8.8.8
to /etc/resolve.conf but this is merely a hack and not a proper trouble shoot of the problem that caused the problem. If I am not wrong having the 'default'(or what do you call…
