openresolv boot (and shutdown) error

#1 Post by whiskerc »

My VPN suggested I install openresolv to replace resolvconf as resolvconf is said to have some bugs. I used the MX installer to install openresolv, which completed successfully. The script seems to have uninstalled resolvconf. It then prompted for a reboot.

Now, at boot and shutdown error messages are showing in red. From /var/log/boot:

Code: Select all

Wed Oct 10 18:55:27 2018: [....] Setting up resolvconf...Illegal option --
Wed Oct 10 18:55:27 2018: Illegal option -e

At shutdown,

Code: Select all

stopping resolv.conf ... illegal option  No resolv.conf for interface isable-updates  failed to disable updates
Any help in finding/fixing much appreciated.

same here and the resolvconf installation back did not solve the issue, sadly :(

you may need to do an apt purge instead of an apt remove for those packages. they both have a lot of conf file that go into /etc and those aren't always removed by a regular apt remove. In synaptic parlance that would be "completely remove".
