18.04 - does it force netplan or can I still use resolved.conf?

I kept getting timeout errors on 18.04 Bionic Beaver, until I switched to OpenDNS using these commands



sudo rm -f /etc/resolv.conf 
sudo ln -s /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
sudo nano /etc/systemd/resolved.conf
# with body
nameserver 208.67.222.222


Should I really be doing this OpenDNS configuration with Netplan? I tried the following but it doesn't work.



# Create a netplan file
sudo vi /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml


.



# Put this in the body
nameservers:
addresses: [208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220]


I also tried this syntax in the body to no avail, but maybe it because I'm on wifi and I called out 'ethernet'??? wlo1 is my wifi logical name when I sudo lshw -C network.



network:
ethernet:
wlo1:
nameservers:
addresses: [208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220]

    You first have to make a decision to use NetworkManager or netplan. If you connect wi-fi to various wireless networks, then NetworkManager is probably the better choice. Netplan is best used in servers, where the configuration doesn't change much. See netplan.io/examples.

  • @heynnema is this NetworkManager? Or is it something else? Please see this image linuxconfig.org/images/…

    That's NetworkManager. netplan has no GUI... only files in /etc/netplan, and the netplan CLI. However, if you're using NetworkManager, there's still one relevant .yaml file in /etc/netplan.

  • @heynnema and correct me if I'm wrong but I'll need to enable NetworkManager for 18.04 in my /etc/netplan file like this: network:n [TAB]version: 2 [TAB]renderer: NetworkManager and then I run netplan generate && netplan apply.

    That's correct. Indentation is important. See my answer, below, or the examples site that I quoted earlier. Use spaces, not tabs.

In terminal...



sudo netplan -debug generate # generate config files



sudo netplan apply # apply the new config



reboot # reboot to confirm network operation
