/etc/resolv.conf lists the name servers to query when doing a DNS lookup. It requires sudo privileges to edit.

sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf

nano is a simple text editor.

The resolver has nothing to do with keyboard and mouse function.

No edit because it is a symbolic link. Default resolv.conf:

  • /run/systemd/resolve/stub.resolv.conf
  • /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf

Delete symbolic link, and create a new one.
sudo nano /etc/resolv.conf

Sample content: nano /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver ::1
nemaserver 127.0.0.1
options edns0
