Kubuntu DNS settings

Seem like DNS settings are no longer stored in resolv.conf but this can still be extracted from the netwok Manager CLI.


nmcli dev show [device] e.g. nmcli dev show wlan0


This will return information including:

IP4.DNS[1]:
IP4.DOMAIN[1]:

Therefore a quick awk can return the value needed:


nmcli dev show wlan0 | grep IP4.DNS | awk -F: '{ print $2 }' | awk '{ print $1 }'
