I successfully work around this issue by the steps described at https://askubuntu.com/a/907249/153828 :
Disable and stop the systemd-resolved service: sudo systemctl disable systemd-resolved.service sudo systemctl stop systemd-resolved Then put the following line in the [main] section of your /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf: dns=default Delete the symlink /etc/resolv.conf rm /etc/resolv.conf Restart network-manager sudo service network-manager restart -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to systemd in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1699660 Title: systemd-resolve breaks resolution of local network hostnames Status in systemd package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: After upgrading to Ubuntu 17.04 (zesty), resolution of my local network's host names is completely broken. Apparently the upgrade replaced my existing resolver with systemd-resolve, which deliberately refuses to pass "single-label" domain names to my domain name server. That is the server where all my network's host names are kept, so I can no longer resolve any of them. Apparently, this is yet another example of Poettering's upstream decisions causing denial of service to people who have been saddled with his malware. https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/2514#issuecomment-179203186 Would someone sensible please put a stop to this forced breakage during upgrade, and advise on how to fix it now that the damage has been done?
