The issue is strait forward. On Ubuntu 18.04 I have deleted reolve.conf from the /ETC dir. Resolv.conf appears to get recreated on reboot but it does not contain any DNS server entries save 127.0.0.53. This will not work, you cannot edit the file as it is symbolically linked. How do I correct, and provide it with the correct entries. I was trying to install Dnsmasq. The following commands were issue
john@VBserver1:~$ sudo systemctl stop systemd-resolved
john@VBserver1:~$ sudo ls -lh /etc/resolv.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 37 Feb 17 21:35 /etc/resolv.conf -> /run/systemd/resolve/stub-
john@VBserver1:~$ sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf
john@VBserver1:~$ echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf
-bash: /etc/resolv.conf: Permission denied
john@VBserver1:~$ sudo echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf This one is where the failure results.
-bash: /etc/resolv.conf: Permission denied
john@VBserver1:~$
john@VBserver1:~$ sudo systemctl stop systemd-resolved
