I want to manually set my resolv.conf and have Ubuntu not automatically change it later.
How do I get Ubuntu to stop modifying resolv.conf?
I have already set "Automatic (DHCP) addresses only" in the network settings.

If you are running a recent version of Ubuntu (I run 12.04 at this time), you will notice that /etc/resolv.conf is a symlink. To stop automatic updates to the file, remove the symlink and replace it with a file with the desired static contents.

apt-get remove resolvconf?

My question could have been phrased better. I needed to set the priority of DNS servers, so editing dhclient's config file was better. – Neil – 2010-05-17T20:37:41.477
1Removing resolvconf forces removal of ubuntu-minimal, which provides a lot of other barebones utilities, which are recommended to not be removed. – Cerin – 2012-10-14T23:57:11.843
