Hi I am going through some tutorials. When I try to execute systemd-resolve --status in Ubuntu 22.04 desktop, system reports command not found. What am I doing wrong here?

I tried running sudo apt-get install -y systemd but it seems like systemd-resolve is not installed. Please help.

    Please try: sudo service systemd-resolved status Welcome to Ask Ubuntu.

    @chili555 The systemd-resolve used to be a command in former Ubuntu versions. It's not the deamon systemd-resolved. Apparently it got removed, or left out.

  • @ubfan1 It works perfectly well on my fully updated 22.04 system.

    @chili555 your command only shows the status of the currently running systemd-resolved service - which shows process info and recent log output. This is not the same thing as the output from resolvectl status (or systemd-resolved --status in prior ubuntu version). "resolvectl status" outputs nameserver information and other configuration information that isn't available in the service output.

Use resolvectl status instead.

In systemd 239 systemd-resolve has been renamed to resolvectl (see here).

For the most part resolvectl offers the same options as systemd-resolve, though they may be named slightly differently. Run resolvectl --help to find what you are looking for.

    It's not a 1:1 replacement though. There's no --set-dns option that was available on systemd-resolve.

Here I updated ubuntu to 22.04 and my VPN stopped working. I fixed it with: sudo ln /usr/bin/resolvectl /usr/bin/systemd-resolve

  • +1 I would suggest to do a symbolic link instead with sudo ln -s /usr/bin/resolvectl /usr/bin/systemd-resolve. This is more transparant as ls -l /usr/bin/systemd-resolve will show that is is only a link to /usr/bin/resolvectl
