This happened to me when I upgraded from 16.04 LTS to 18.04 LTS, I noticed error dialog boxes during the install but unsure if they are related.
The /etc/resolv.conf contained: # Generated by NetworkManager search lan nameserver 127.0.0.53 I compared it to a fresh install of 18.04 and this had /etc/resolv.conf as a symlink pointing to /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf, so I modified the broken system with these commands. sudo mv /etc/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf.bak sudo ln -s /run/systemd/resolve/stub-resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf But this did not work. I then found that the broken system had the package resolvconf installed that is not installed on the new 18.04 installation so I removed it with the command: sudo apt purge resolvconf After a reboot my networking now works though the /etc/resolv.conf symlink has become a file again containing: # Generated by NetworkManager search lan nameserver 192.168.1.1 The command systemd-resolve --status still fails with the error: Failed to get global data: Unit dbus-org.freedesktop.resolve1.service not found. So I suspect this is not a correct fix but more of an accidental workaround. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1795852 Title: "systemd-resolve --status" reports "Failed to get global data: Unit dbus-org.freedesktop.resolve1.service not found."
