The other morning the normally always on (or suspended) work machine with Honey on had a problem.
its been fine (apart from no host, dig or nslookup -still) and fairly regularly upgraded.
I added a monitor and moved the box, which caused the power to come out.
plug it all back in, booted. No DNS resolving... pings, but no internet,jabber or remote shell.
panicked - using the Mint cinnamon fallback for actually doing things.
Then I had the same thing with the laptop with Arrogance on.
I noticed an error about:
googled it, didn't understand the 2010 bug filed, so I purged then reinstalled resolvconf.resolvconf: Error: /etc/resolvconf/run/interface either does not exist or is not a directory
Seems to have worked. Will try with the work machine later next week.
I did notice in the last upgrade 'rpcbind' was removed... not sure why, or if it is the cause.
Anyway just in case anyone runs into this one.
