Problem with domain name server in intrepid

[Kjetil Halvorsen]

I just upgraded to intrepid, and there nis one problem:
I cannot set the dns from the gui, AND once set, the dns is forgotten
and has to be set anew
each time rebooting. Thsi is what I do to set dns:
1) open a terminal window:
2)
kjetil at familien:~$ cd /etc
kjetil at familien:/etc$ ls -l resolv.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 31 2008-11-06 17:29 resolv.conf ->
/etc/resolvconf/run/resolv.conf
kjetil at familien:/etc$ cd /etc/resolvconf/run
kjetil at familien:/etc/resolvconf/run$ sudo pico resolv.conf
sudo: unable to resolve host familien
[sudo] password for kjetil:

In pico i write the line "nameserver 146.83.126.8"
and then writes out and exit

kjetil at familien:/etc/resolvconf/run$ sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
sudo: unable to resolve host familien
 * Reconfiguring network interfaces...
                                  [ OK ]
kjetil at familien:/etc/resolvconf/run$

Now internet works !

There must be a better way??

"Perhaps there is no such thing as unilateral power. After all, the
man 'in power' depends on receiving information all the time from
outside. He responds to that information just as much as he 'causes'
things to happen...it is an interaction, and not a lineal situation.
But the myth of power is, of course, a very powerful myth, and
probably most people in this world more or less believe in it. It is a
myth, which, if everybody believes in it, becomes to that extent
self-validating. But it is still epistemological lunacy and leads
inevitably to various sorts of disaster."
