.NET Core doesn't work on a Pi Zero

Command alias in Ubuntu

f you haven’t previously installed xclip simply run the following command in your terminal window:

SHELL

sudo apt-get install xclip -y

Edit your BASH settings file using your favourite text editor.  I’ll be using nano, but feel free to use Gedit or Vim etc.

SHELL

nano ~/.bashrc

Then create an alias for pbcopy and pbpaste:

SHELL

alias pbcopy='xclip -selection clipboard'

alias pbpaste='xclip -selection clipboard -o'

Close and save the file then just refresh your bash to import your new settings

SHELL

source ~/.bashrc

This involved setting the primary nameserver on the router and editing /etc/resolv.conf
