Public bug reported: When booting into recovery mode and enabling networking, networking does not get enabled. DNS lookup doesn't work because systemd-resolved does not start and /etc/resolv.conf is a broken symlink.
Steps to reproduce: 1. Reboot. 2. In the grub menu, select "Advanced options for Ubuntu" and then select boot in recovery mode. 3. When the menu appears, select "networking". In the console you may notice a few errors that /etc/resolv.conf file not found. 4. Select "drop to root" console. 5. Try pinging some hosts, like "ping ubuntu.com". You will see that name resolution doesn't work. 6. You can check that the network interface is up, "ip addr" displays valid info and the interface has an assigned local IP. 7. You can check that /etc/resolv.conf is in fact a dangling link to ../run/resolvconf/resolv.conf. 8. You can see that systemd-resolved is not running: "systemctl status systemd-resolved" shows the service is dead. 9. Invoking "systemctl start systemd-resolved" hangs indefinitely, the service not starting. The workaround to get DNS working is to replace /etc/resolv.conf with a valid link or a file with a DNS server. The DNS lookup and networking in general works fine if the system is booted normally.
