I began by trying to sudo apt-get update which resulted in
Err:1 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security InRelease
Temporary failure resolving 'security.ubuntu.com'
Err:2 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal InRelease
Temporary failure resolving 'archive.ubuntu.com'
I attempted this guide here which did not resolve the issue
This is my /etc/resolv.conf file which I made immutable with 'chattr +i' trying to prevent WSL from overwriting it
# This file was automatically generated by WSL. To stop automatic generation of this file, add the following entry to /etc/wsl.conf:
# [network]
# generateResolvConf = false
nameserver 172.24.144.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8
For reference, this is my /etc/apt/sources.list file
# See http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes for how to upgrade to
# newer versions of the distribution.
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal main restricted
# deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ focal main restricted
Major bug fix updates produced after the final release of the
distribution.
