Since a while back my Ubuntu 23.10 (it was fresh installed) does not have a network connection on boot. After searching around for solutions I found that running systemctl start systemd-resolved.service restores the connection, but I have to run this every time I start the comupter, which is obviously annoying.

I realize it might be hard to spot the root issue from this description, but I know nothing about how the network works, or even what the systemctl... command does, hence I don't know where to start trouble shooting this so that I can ask for more specific help. Any suggestions on how to find the cause of this issue, or even better make it go away?

systemctl enable systemd-resolved.service ? – Daniel T Feb 19 '24 at 09:11
@DanielT Wow, that worked! Thanks! I guess some background service related to the network had for some reason been disabled? – leo Feb 20 '24 at 08:10
This background service handles DNS. Perhaps it was buggy in previous releases so you tried to disable it – Daniel T Feb 20 '24 at 08:11
Does this answer your question? How can I configure a service to run at startup – Daniel T Feb 20 '24 at 08:15
@DanielT Fresh install, and I didn't disable anything, but I did install a VPN, so maybe that software tampered with the settings somehow... – leo Feb 20 '24 at 09:15
As for the other question, the network is something I kind of expect to work out of the box when I install an OS, so I wouldn't google for ”how to start a service” when it doesn't... – leo Feb 20 '24 at 09:17
