I am running an ubuntu (focal 20.04) on WSL2 and i am trying to install gcc and it seems i need to run apt-get update first.
I keep getting Could not resolve us.us.archive.ubuntu.com (error below).
I have checked for solutions and edited the /etc/resolv.conf adding the additional nameservers like below:
/etc/resolv.conf
# This file was automatically generated by WSL. To stop automatic generation of this file, add the foll>
# [network]
# generateResolvConf = false
nameserver 172.17.96.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
