Could I have some help please, I am trying to install HA suprvised on a intel based laptop following the official installation instructions on a clean whole disk install of Debian 12.
When I install the dependency “systemd-resolved” I lose internet access. I have tried setting my router to be the DNS server and /etc/resolvr.conf gets populated with nameserver: 8.8.4.4 nameserver: ( gateway address ) so Network Manager is working. But I still have no internet access. I have also tried editing resolvr.conf with 1.1.1.1.
When I disable systemd-resolved ( sudo systemctl disable systemd-resolved.service) internet starts working again and I can get to the stage where home assistant installation takes place but the script enables systemd-resolved and then stalls due to loss of internet.
I am able to open another terminal session and disable / stop systemd-resolved and the installation completes. When I reboot the laptop I have no internet with systemd-resolved active or disabled.
Has anyone done a clean install of Home Assistant Supervised on Debian 12, did you have these issues and how did you get internet working please?
Have you tried this?

Thankyou for responding, I have tried this temporary fix but it did not work for me. resolv.conf is a symlink file that is updated by network-manager ( another dependency required by the home assistant installer ). Every time I boot the machine resolv.conf in overwritten.
Might be worth lodging an issue on Github then.

man NetworkManager.conf
-
Using the CLI edit
/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf -
Search for the [main] section in this file. It should look something like this:
[main]
dns=default
plugins=keyfile
autoconnect-retries-default=0
rc-manager=file
- Now change dns=default to dns=none just after the [main] tag like this:
[main]
dns=none
plugins=keyfile
autoconnect-retries-default=0
rc-manager=file
- Save the file and restart NetworkManager.service:
sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager.service
- Edit
resolv.confand add the DNS-server of your choice.
Next time you reboot your /etc/resolv.conf file will not get updated when using nm (network-manager).
Hope this helps.

Thank you, I will give it a bash ( pun intended ) tonight to see if permanently setting resolv.conf file to a set name server will solve the internet issue. I have done 3 or 4 installs, only my first time around did editing resolv.conf help the internet issue until I rebooted of course.
Also make sure you have disabled IPv6 withHA if your LAN is on IPv4 only:
HA → Settings → System → Network → Configure network interfaces: IPv6 → Disable
Thankyou for your suggestion regarding the IPV6. After I finally got home assistant installed ( solution below ) my internet die again just after home assistant loaded fully and before I was able to log into the GUI. I disabled IPV6 and stopped and started systemd-resolved and now everything is working, even after multiple reboots.
I have had heaps of trouble getting Home Assistant Supervised installed on an old laptop. The only solution that work for me was provided by @snakuzzo over at github ( Bug Report: Problems with systemd-resolved in 1.5.0 · Issue #304 · home-assistant/supervised-installer · GitHub ).
When I first saw his solution I had high hopes as it actually addresses the cause of the problem, systemd-resolved.
Here was his solution :-
"when you install systemd-resolved, it doesn’t work fine using stub listener (default option). If you disable stub listener, using another DNS server, it works fine.
So…to bypass the issue…
sudo apt install systemd-resolved
At this time, this breaks name resolution…
sudo nano /etc/systemd/resolved.conf
Uncomment this lines with no stub listener and your DNS server (eg. your router address):
DNS=192.168.1.1
DNSStubListener=no
Save and restart systemd-resolved
sudo systemctl restart systemd-resolved
Now check name resolution and go on with installation

This is the solution that worked for me!!
My Error
E: Unable to locate package systemd-resolved
Show us the output of:
sudo cat /etc/apt/sources.list
Well, this guide is for HA Supervised using Debian 12 (but not Ubuntu). Sorry, I cant help you with this one 
Please note THIS and THIS. You wont be able to install HA Supervised on any other OS than Debian 11 (obsolete soon) and Debian 12 (future proof).
