Description
Yesterday, I installed WSL with Ubuntu and it was working perfectly fine and today i tried to install few modules for python but it was stuck and then nothing so i though python pip was a problem so i tried to reinstall it but **sudo apt install python3-pip** was not working, tried ping google.com nothing just stuck even though i have a good internet connection.
I tied many solution from deleting the **/etc/resolv.conf** and then making a new add dns of google 8.8.8.8 and cloudflare 1.1.1.1 and then tried ping same problem nothing and then tried
```bash
sudo mkdir -p /etc/wsl
echo -e "[network]\ngenerateResolvConf = false" | sudo tee /etc/wsl/wsl.conf
```
and then tried this
```
dig google.com
;; communications error to 8.8.8.8#53: timed out
;; communications error to 8.8.8.8#53: timed out
;; communications error to 8.8.8.8#53: timed out
```
Can someone help me solve this issue
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure in WSL Ubuntu with `sudo apt install python3-pip`, `ping google.com`, and `dig google.com`. Review the reported `/etc/resolv.conf` and `/etc/wsl/wsl.conf` changes; the issue is done when the WSL instance can resolve domains and reach package repositories.
