DNS resolution problem trying to download modules

ph flag
HC LW

I began by trying to sudo apt-get update which resulted in

Err:1 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security InRelease
  Temporary failure resolving 'security.ubuntu.com'
Err:2 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal InRelease
  Temporary failure resolving 'archive.ubuntu.com'

I attempted this guide here which did not resolve the issue

This is my /etc/resolv.conf file which I made immutable with 'chattr +i' trying to prevent WSL from overwriting it

# This file was automatically generated by WSL. To stop automatic generation of this file, add the following entry to /etc/wsl.conf:
# [network]
# generateResolvConf = false
nameserver 172.24.144.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8

For reference, this is my /etc/apt/sources.list file

# See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
# newer versions of the distribution.
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal main restricted
# deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal main restricted

## Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the
## distribution.
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal-updates main restricted
# deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal-updates main restricted

## N.B. software from this repository is ENTIRELY UNSUPPORTED by the Ubuntu
## team. Also, please note that software in universe WILL NOT receive any
## review or updates from the Ubuntu security team.

# deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal universe
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal-updates universe
# deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal-updates universe

I'm out of ideas, guys.

172.24.144.1 is a local DNS resolver. Is the DNS service that's running here functional? If not, maybe you should try Google instead (8.8.8.8).

@ArturMeinild I added Nameserver 8.8.8.8 to the resolv.conf file. Should that not work?

Try removing the other one (172.24.144.1) so 8.8.8.8 is the primary.

@ArturMeinild Unfortunately it did not work, I commented out the first one and just left 8.8.8.8.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
