This is driving me insane, please tell me what I’m doing wrong. New install of Ubuntu on VirtualBox. When I run the installer it gets to the point where it installs nsd and then can’t resolve any of the mirrors to download anything else. It’s like it resets my DNS settings (which makes sense that is literally what nsd is). If I change resolv.conf to get my DNS working again and then manually install the next set of packages and the rerun the the installer it gets a bit further until it needs to install the next set of packages in which case it CAN’T because it’s reset resolv.conf again. So I have to update resolv.conf rinse and repeat. Before I continue on this way, is there a proper way to handle this or what am I doing wrong?
There have been instances where enabling or disabling ipv6 would emable the local dns resolver. In this case bind9.
If you focus on getting bind9 working (check sudo systemctl status bind9 I think it’s the quickest way.

I have ipv6 disabled at a router level. So there is no way to install this without it wanting to use itself as a DNS server during install??? I guess if I just keep doing like I’m doing until it gets fully installed could I then use the web interface to enable the external DNS and then would it behave like I want it to?
I fixed it…I just edited the system.sh script in the installer and changed the 127.0.0.1 that it was forcing into my resolv.conf to my own dns. So far so good
