System-resolved.service does not exist

[highrider187]

Hello I seem to be having a similar issue, i tried the above fixes but i get an out put of

┌──(root㉿highrider187)-[~/Desktop/THM]
└─# dpkg-reconfigure resolved.conf
dpkg-query: package 'resolved.conf' is not installed and no information is available
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files.
/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: resolved.conf is not installed

Its even more perplexing because i can see in my file manager Thunar, the file exists,

but it's somehow not installed? if anyone has any advice i would appreicate any help. I cant seem to find much on this one,
I apologize ahead of time if it takes some time for me to reply. I have ADHD and sometimes struggle with follow ups. but i will reply. it may just take a day or two extra. thank you for the understanding and help.

Incase you were gonna ask the contents of the resolved.conf file in the screenshot above this is the contents

Which distro are you using?

 

[highrider187]

PRETTY_NAME="Kali GNU/Linux Rolling"
NAME="Kali GNU/Linux"
ID=kali
VERSION="2022.3"
VERSION_ID="2022.3"
VERSION_CODENAME="kali-rolling"

You're probably better off asking a question of your own and in the Kali sub-forum.

 

[highrider187]

already posted there, waiting for a response but i thought i would check here too just incase.

I mean OUR Kali sub-forum.

Lemme see if I can do some wizardry... Gimme a minute.

There you go. You're now in the right sub-forum.

Kali has it's own set of oddities, so all Kali questions go here. Kali should only be used by experienced Linux users, just so you know. It doesn't make you a l33t h3x0r, it just gives you a relatively unstable system with tools best used from a virtual machine with a dedicated networking device.

But, you're now in the Kali sub-forum.

resolved.conf' is not installed

"resolved.conf" does not seem to be a package, rather, "resolvconf" is a package. Normally a file of the form: resolved.conf, would be considered a configuration file of some package rather than the package name itself.

If you wanted to know whether a package is installed, you could do:

dpkg -s <pkgname>

If you were unsure of the package name, you could search for it with the part of its name that you were sure about such as:

[flip@flop ~ ]$ apt-cache search '^resolv'
ip2host - Resolve IPs to hostnames in web server logs
node-any-promise - Resolve any installed ES6 compatible promise
node-bindings - resolve path to c++ addons built by node-gyp - Node.js module
node-resolve-cwd - Resolve the path of a module from current directory
node-resolve-dir - Resolve a directory
node-resolve-from - Resolve the path of a module from a given path
node-resolve-pkg - Resolve the path of a package regardless of it having an entry point
node-rollup-plugin-alias - Resolves aliases with Rollup
node-yarn-tool-resolve-package - Resolve package root and package.json paths
openresolv - management framework for resolv.conf
python-json-pointer-doc - resolve JSON pointers - doc
python3-json-pointer - resolve JSON pointers - Python 3.x
resolvconf - name server information handler
resolvconf-admin - setuid helper program for setting up the local DNS
librust-resolv-conf-dev - Resolv.conf file parser - Rust source code
systemd-resolved - systemd DNS resolver

Then you could see what's what and go from there.

@highrider187 welcome to linux.org

What other Linux distros have you used and for how long?

Cheers
