I recently upgraded Ubuntu, and now whenever I restart my computer I have no internet. To get internet I have to edit my /etc/resolv.conf file.

It shows this when I load the file.

# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 127.0.1.1

To get internet I have to add another nameserver, so I chose Google's, and now it looks like this:

# Generated by NetworkManager
nameserver 127.0.1.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8

How to I get it so that I have internet when I restart?

Did you see this Q&A: resolv.conf keeps getting reset by something? – Videonauth Nov 18 '17 at 02:45
I just changed the /etc/resolv.conf just to get internet. I would like to know what changed as to why I don't have internet. I didn't have to do anything before the upgrade. It just worked. – Get Off My Lawn Nov 18 '17 at 02:48
Upgraded from what to what? Set a sms server in mn as a work around. – Panther Nov 18 '17 at 04:19

And maybe have a look at this question: No internet after upgrade to 17.10 – Videonauth Nov 18 '17 at 04:33
