DNS not working

So, I booted up my laptop for the first time in a few weeks, and saw that my internet wasn't working at all, then I realized it was just my DNS that was experiencing issues. I'm using NetworkManager if it matters - I can ping IP's from the internet and in my LAN, but any changes I've tried to do to fix DNS hasn't worked to any avail. I've tried using any network (multiple wifi networks and ethernet), and it hasn't worked.

I've modified my resolv.conf to try different DNS servers, and it still hasn't worked. For whatever reason, using drill seems to resolve fine. I'll be happy to provide more info if needed.

Re: DNS not working

What does your /etc/nsswitch.conf look like?

Re: DNS not working

After running resolvconf -u and setting my DNS servers, it appears to work fine
