This message implies your computer can’t connect to github - this isn’t something nvm can fix.
Are you located in a country or workplace that’s hostile to the internet? Theres not much to do about these kinds of network conditions besides relocating, either physically or using a vpn.
I'm on a solid internet connection,
some people said they were able to solve it by switching to wsl 1
and that it might be anti virus or vpn related,
I'm on a brand new computer that I'm trying to create a back up image after I situate my environment.
I was hoping to find a more permanent solution.
Interesting! I wouldn’t expect problems in that env. WSL1 isn’t fully posix compliant, i believe, so I’d suggest sticking to wsl2.
You could try investigating dns, and ipv6 settings, and see what things you can reach from windows but not wsl?
This seemed to solve it!
sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf
sudo bash -c 'echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" > /etc/resolv.conf'
sudo bash -c 'echo "[network]" > /etc/wsl.conf'
sudo bash -c 'echo "generateResolvConf = false" >> /etc/wsl.conf'
sudo chattr +i /etc/resolv.conf
it deletes your resolve.config file thats automatically generated when u run WSL then creates a new file and puts "nameserver 8.8.8.8", then creates a wsl.conf file and adds [network] and generateResolveConf = false to prevent auto generation of that file
you can also run
cat /etc/resolv.conf
to check the contents of the file
than
ping google.com
Wow, thanks! Any chance you’d want to PR this into the troubleshooting section of the readme?
