Ubuntu server 18.04 - No IP address with Netplan

Question

Background:

Hardware: Thinkpad X301

In the installation of Ubuntu 18.04.1 Server (64-bit) the installation was stuck at the network setup portion of the installation. The network setup timed out and no IP address seemed to be assigned to the ethernet interface (enp0s25 in this case).

I instead downloaded the alternate installer and the installation went smoothly and dhcp was autoconfigured (which also works flawlessly in the 16.04 server installation). However after the installation 18.04 hangs at the "Waiting for network to be configured" message. After 2 minutes it continues and lets me access the terminal.

Configuration

Temporary solution

Tried using sudo ip addr add 192.168.0.107 dev enp0s25 - IP is assigned to the interface but no internet

Then i tried sudo dhclient -v enp0s25 - Which assigns an IP and internet works

Output after sudo dhclient -v enp0s25

In summary - The question

What needs to be changed in order for ubuntu to obtain a dynamic IP address on boot by itself?
