Thanks for this question.

The error message indicates a problem with the address resolution via DNS.

what is the contents of the file /etc/resolv.conf ?

Is the DNS server configured in there maybe down? Does your ISP offer you another one?

Maybe you want to restart the network in order to retrieve new DHCP information and therefore the DNS server information is reset to the correct information.

Hope this helps.

Can you help with this problem?
