In order to avoid the following error message i created a symlink of /run/NetworkManager/resolv.conf in /etc/resolv.conf

https://www.reddit.com/r/Windscribe/comments/cn2qfb/etcresolvconf_is_not_a_symlink_this_may_break_dns/

But when using the manjaro-chroot script it fails to get my internet connection to chroot and shows mount point is a symbolic link to nowhere so i modified the script to check if /etc/resolv.conf is a symbolic link and if it is a symbolic link then use /run/NetworkManager/resolv.conf instead .

And now the script also shows the internet is not connected so internet access will not be available in chroot .

sudo manjaro-chroot -a                                             ✔

==> Mounting (Ubuntu) [/dev/sda2]
 --> mount: [/mnt]
your /etc/resolv.conf is a symlink so using /run/NetworkManager/resolv.conf instead
root@manjaro-minion:/#

sudo manjaro-chroot -a                                 127 ✘  51s  
==> Mounting (Ubuntu) [/dev/sda2]
 --> mount: [/mnt]
Internet is not connected you will not have internet connectivity inside chroot
root@manjaro-minion:/#

code that i added to util-mount.sh checks if connected to the internet by pinging google and if the internet is not connected then it doesn't mount /etc/resolv.conf or the /run/NetworkManager/resolv.conf .

if it is connected then it checks if the /etc/resolv.conf is a symlink,if it isnt a symlink then it mounts that file if it is a symlink,it uses /run/NetworkManager/resolv.conf instead

code that I added to manjaro-chroot does the same described above but when using manjaro-chroot manually
