This tells me there is an issue with 4.1-RC1.
Hey, you wanna try something really quick and see what happens? I don't have a Zero to test.
You are going to need to connect to network though, so maybe tried wired and then run this:
I was able to get my 4.1 hotspot to act correctly the instant I reinstalled that package, it started resolving network hosts right away.
For some reason Andy removed that package, I'm guessing he was trying to downsize the image, and I'm 99% certain that is the culprit.
I went ahead and tried this with an RPi 3B+ based hotspot (so I could use a wired connection to my network), but I got an error message. Any ideas?
Code: Select all

Package openresolv is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'openresolv' has no installation candidate

Have you run a "sudo apt-get update" recently? Normally its kinda assumed you run that before other apt-get install commands, so I kinda didn't mention it. Sorry about that, but it might be that theres a serious issue with that package and they've removed it from the repo. I'll have to take a look and see if I can find any info on it.
If someones previous actions are any indication of their future actions, then I predict the deletion and removal of access will happen at any moment. 7-11-2020.

I run sudo apt-get update on a regular basis on my RPi computer in my shack, but I've never run it on any of my Pi-Star hotspot RPi boards. I didn't even know that was possible. I do run sudo pistar-update on a regular basis, though I didn't in this case, since I was working on a brand new install.
I'll try running sudo apt-get update and see what happens.

Did the Beta get pulled. I got my Pi 4 and was hoping to have something to play with.

Sadly for you guys, its going to be burn a new image, since it looks like only a small number of people managed to get the 4.1 build - once I get one that is behaving we'll roll changes into that one so there wont be too many new image cycles.
