NXDOMAIN Error

Steve R. · 03-29-2020, 02:37 PM

In reviewing my /var/log/syslog; I noticed the following error message:

Quote:

Server returned error NXDOMAIN, mitigating potential DNS violation DVE-2018-0001, retrying transaction with reduced feature level UDP.

This error did not seem to affect how my computer was functioning.

After a bit of searching, I found the solution here: New alert keeps showing up: Server returned error NXDOMAIN, mitigating potential DNS violation DVE-2018-0001. Please note, the solution that I used was the answer provided by intosomethin.

Code:

# systemctl status systemd-resolved
# unlink /etc/resolv.conf
# ln -s /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
# systemctl restart systemd-resolved
# systemctl status systemd-resolved

Since I am using Mint, I used "sudo" instead of "#".

-------------------------------------------------------

Apparently the "fix" was just temporary. More investigative work necessary to resolve the issue.

Yes, if someone actually knows of a solution. No. This was meant to be informative. I will still poke around for a solution. It does not appear that this issue is affecting the performance of my computer. When I see an error message, I do like to resolve them when possible. It's also a learning experience. Thanks for asking.
