Hi, Trying to install Kubuntu 26.04 on old asus laptop. Boot stuck on error “Temporary failure resolving [archive.ubuntu.com](http://archive.ubuntu.com)”, even if I plug ethernet cable. How to fix this? ---

live usb dns dying like that is usually NetworkManager never got a resolver, even w/ a cable plugged. id try from a terminal on the live session: -ip link -nmcli device status -nmcli device connect \ -resolvectl status -ping -c2 1.1.1.1 -ping -c2 [archive.ubuntu.com](http://archive.ubuntu.com) if 1.1.1.1 works but [archive.ubuntu.com](http://archive.ubuntu.com) fails: -echo “nameserver 1.1.1.1” | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf -then retry the installer / sudo apt update if even 1.1.1.1 fails, the live session never got a dhcp lease. try another port/cable or: -sudo dhclient -v ---
