Good day to you guys here. I downloaded a version of Kali Linux light from the official Kali Linux site, and I run the program live from my flash drive. I connected the the system to my Android phone hotspot. Everything other things seems to work well until I tried to install some app from the internet. The error I always get is: "Temporary failure in name resolution" I've googled this error message over and over again, but I'm still unable to access the net. Is "Kali Linux light" this light because it can't be connected to the internet?

UPDATE: After a lot of searches here and there, I later came across an article that confirmed that my version of NetworkManager is slightly faulty. Now, I've switched to connman, and everything has been going well

Please check /etc/resolv.conf the file might be some entry not resolving or check /etc/hosts file and add the correct Hostname.

Thanks

  • @Kusalananda Could you help me, please? I'll provide any information you need. – dammy999 Dec 14 '19 at 17:00
  • @dammy999 I can not. I'm not running Linux. Your issue is with the name server that you have configured or decided to use, or that have been assigned to you. I can't say more than that really as I can't replicate your setup. – Kusalananda Dec 14 '19 at 17:03
  • @Kusalananda I guess it isn't my name server config, but a fault in the version of NetworkManager that I have. Now I'm able to connect successfully using connman with the same name server configurations that wasn't successful while using NetworkManager. – dammy999 Dec 14 '19 at 21:10
