Getting a lot of error messages trying to fix my ubuntu server not having any internet. In the end, I found out it was due to the gateway pointing to wrong IP. Had to switch gateway to xxx.xxx.x.193 in /etc/network/interfaces



But prior to that, I was reading answer here and followed its commands to see if it would resolve my internet on server. 



https://askubuntu.com/questions/767574/no-network-after-upgrade-to-16-04/767944#767944



$ sudo systemctl enable systemd-networkd

$ sudo systemctl enable systemd-resolved

$ sudo systemctl start systemd-resolved

$ sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf

$ sudo ln -s /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf

$ sudo vi /etc/systemd/network/20-dhcp.network


After I did that and rebooted, got all sorts of error messages. I am thinking might be related to DHCP being set to auto. But not sure. Any suggestions on fix? Here's errors I am getting in startup messages.

      Getting a lot of error messages trying to fix my ubuntu server not having any internet. In the end, I found out it was due to the gateway pointing to wrong IP. Had to switch gateway to xxx.xxx.x.193 in /etc/network/interfaces



      But prior to that, I was reading answer here and followed its commands to see if it would resolve my internet on server. 



      https://askubuntu.com/questions/767574/no-network-after-upgrade-to-16-04/767944#767944
      

      
$ sudo systemctl enable systemd-networkd
      
$ sudo systemctl enable systemd-resolved
      
$ sudo systemctl start systemd-resolved
      
$ sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf
      
$ sudo ln -s /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
      
$ sudo vi /etc/systemd/network/20-dhcp.network


      After I did that and rebooted, got all sorts of error messages. I am thinking might be related to DHCP being set to auto. But not sure. Any suggestions on fix? Here's errors I am getting in startup messages.

      Getting a lot of error messages trying to fix my ubuntu server not having any internet. In the end, I found out it was due to the gateway pointing to wrong IP. Had to switch gateway to xxx.xxx.x.193 in /etc/network/interfaces



      But prior to that, I was reading answer here and followed its commands to see if it would resolve my internet on server. 



      https://askubuntu.com/questions/767574/no-network-after-upgrade-to-16-04/767944#767944
      

      
$ sudo systemctl enable systemd-networkd
      
$ sudo systemctl enable systemd-resolved
      
$ sudo systemctl start systemd-resolved
      
$ sudo rm /etc/resolv.conf
      
$ sudo ln -s /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
      
$ sudo vi /etc/systemd/network/20-dhcp.network


      After I did that and rebooted, got all sorts of error messages. I am thinking might be related to DHCP being set to auto. But not sure. Any suggestions on fix? Here's errors I am getting in startup messages.
