Happy New Year.
I have installed Debian 10 on my desktops, due to an issue with a prior
Linux OS and noticed some differences after installation. Specifically
with resolv.conf.
System 1's resolv.conf only contains:
Generated by Connection Manager
nameserver ::1
nameserver 127.0.0.1
System 2's contains:
domain (comcast)
search (comcast)
nameserver (comcast primary IPv4)
nameserver (comcast secondary IPv4)
(There is no reference to System 2's resolv.conf being generated by
Connection Manager.)
When I tested the browser (Firefox) on System 1 at Comcast's IPv6 test
mirror:
https://test-ipv6-vm3.comcast.net, it went through the tests and
although it reported 10/10, there was an indication that the browser has
a real working IPv6 address, but is avoiding using it.
When Firefox was tested on System 2 at the same site, it also reported
10/10, but did not indicate it was avoiding IPv6.
Although I used the same image to install Debian on both, I used the
graphical installer on System 1, which during the process, did not
prompt for the domain name, nor did it ask for a root password, unlike
the regular (text-based) installer. I have since created the root password.
Are these unexpected differences with System 1, cause for concern?
Should I reinstall Debian on it, using the text-based installer instead?
Thanks in advance.
