How to no connectivity Ubuntu DNS problem [fix]

[jonathonp]

I installed Ubuntu 17.04 and Ubuntu-Mate 17.04 and found i had no INTERNET access. It looked like a problem with DNS.

Here are some simple solutions to the problem:

Method 1:

Open a terminal and copy and paste the following:

sudo gedit /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail

Add the following:

nameserver 8.8.8.8

Click Save and Restart your computer.


Method 2:

Open a terminal and copy and paste the following:

sudo gedit /etc/systemd/resolved.conf

Uncomment

#DNS

and change it to

DNS=8.8.8.8

Click Save and Restart your computer.


Method 3:

With Network-manager Click Edit Connections > Wired Connection > Edit > Ipv4 Settings > Method: Automatic (DHCP) address only > DNS servers add 8.8.8.8 > Click Save

Restart your Network Connection or restart your computer.

With this method, if the connection under "Network Connections" is deleted the user will no longer have INTERNET access so i would not recommended it. Choose method 1 or 2 instead.

I installed Ubuntu Gnome 17.04 on a spare partition and wired internet did not work.

Method 2 in your post solved the difficulty.
