These errors indicate that there is some problem with DNS.

  • check cat /etc/resolv.conf for your DNS settings.

  • And add following name server in /etc/resolv.conf for temporary or in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head for permanent

  • To add these two name server address in resolv.conf
    • run command sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf
    • Copy above two line of nameserver paste on last line of resolv.conf
    • Ctrl+S to save.
  • Note: If you add name server only /etc/resolv.conf then when computer is restarted then /etc/resolv.conf is in previous stage.So, to store these nameservers permanently, use following method :

    • run command sudo gedit /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head

I am using kali linux. I came across so many ways which all failed to work but one. In the terminal, type:-

sudo apt-get purge resolvconf
