John, Check the command and output you provided against the one requested(cat /etc/resolv.conf) and note the difference. There is no /etc/resolve.config in Ubuntu but there is /etc/resolv.conf thus the output: No such file or directory.  Please type the command correctly in a terminal and report the output then someone may be able to help you.
