You might need to also check the contents of the /etc/resolved.conf file to check that it's pointing to a known-good DNS server. Or alternatively you could simply restart the machine afterwards and see if it's now reaching the internet. <br><br>Fay <br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 14 August 2020 13:20:58 BST, Phil Bass via Nottingham <nottingham@mailman.lug.org.uk> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
Hi, guys.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">It was good to meet a few of you on jitsi last night.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">A few days ago I installed Linux Mint 20 on an old Windows laptop. I haven’t fiddled with any settings (my sysadmin credentials are somewhat lacking but I can follow instructions 🙂). The machine connects to my WiFi but can’t access the Internet. The Logs app contains multiple error messages that say:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;" class=""><div class=""><b class="">systemd-resolved Failed to send hostname reply: Invalid argument</b></div></blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Googling for this error message throws up a <a href="https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/11626" class="">GitHub thread</a> dating from Feb 2019. The problem was originally associated with sleep/wakeup in Arch Linux but has also been reported as a permanent problem preventing access to the Internet and in Ubuntu. There’s no resolution in that thread and the last post was yesterday.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I’ve also found a <a href="https://forum.manjaro.org/t/i-broke-my-dns-configuration-limited-connection-to-internet-on-manjaro/122487/28" class="">thread on a Manjaro forum</a> that suggests masking or disabling systemd-resolved and that has solved the problem for the original poster.
