System checkup

DNS bad config

If nslookup google.com gives error, there is problem. If nslookup google.com 8.8.8.8 gives no error, it means your default DNS is not working but things work when you specify a DNS. So specify a DNS permanently. Do the following.

sudo vi /etc/systemd/resolved.conf # open the systemd config file file
DNS=8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 1.1.1.1 # add this line at the bottom in nano
sudo service systemd-resolved restart # restart systemd-resolve
cat /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf # check if the DNS's are there
sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf # delete this symlink
sudo ln -s /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf # create new symlink
sudo service systemd-resolved restart # restart systemd-resolved again

And the problem should be fixed as a new nslookup google.com should show.
