I have an issue similar to what is described here. I tried all the answers in that posting as well as other similar questions with no luck. I have also zero understanding in networking and really need help with it. The fresh installation worked fine,but then I have probably run the system upgrade and since then the internet access is broken. One thing I have noticed that when modifying nameserver line in /etc/resolv.conf ,the NetworkManager always resets it to 127.0.0.53. I tried disabling that service, deleting the resolv.conf but it always returns.I will update the question with any extra info on request.

I have tried also this solution. But when pinging google.com I am getting:

ping: google.com:Temporary failure in name resolution

Here is the relevant output from lspci:

03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
        RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 15)

And lshw -c network:

I have also tried to boot in secure mode and from the installation USB and same problem persists. It can't be a hardware issue as I have Windows in dual boot there which connects to the internet fine. I updated the above: when loading from installation Flash disk the wired internet does work.

Here is the output of sudo service systemd-resolved:

After I have restarted the service I am getting this:

The first line in `resolve.conf` says the file is managed by a service and the second line says, quote: "Do not edit.". Not sure why you would want to play around with the file given the rest of the notes in that file . That said, could you [edit] your question to include the Terminal output of: (0) `sudo lspci` (1) `sudo lshw -c network`? This will show detailed information about your hardware and network, making it more likely someone can offer a solution

Yes,sure.Adding it.

The hardware appears to have the correct driver and it's showing as being connected. What do you see when you run `resolvectl status`? Are there a bunch of records for `DNSSEC NTA` up near the top? Can you [edit] your question to include the output of `sudo service systemd-resolved status`?

I have re-enabled and restarted the service. The internet is back!!! It didn't work the previous time I did it. I will restart and check if the fix persists.

Looks like you may have some DNS resolution now. Are you still seeing an error?

Restarted after reenabling the resolve and not the internet indeed work. Weird. I have tried that already during the last 2 hours and had no luck. You have a good karma. Thanks!

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
