DNS queries fail, while IP addresses work, after upgrade from Ubuntu 16.10 to 17.04 in VirtualBox. Applied updates to 16.10 before upgrading to 17.04.

i.e. sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade except I did the update and upgrade via gui.

  • ping 156.151.59.35 works, while ping www.sun.com fails on the upgraded 17.04, but works everywhere else. I restarted the 17.04 system several times but this did not help.

I had the same problem after upgrading. Though I didn't investigate the issue too much thus have no deep undestanding of the root cause, in my env it was fixed by editing system config file /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and adding the following entry to the global section: dns=dnsmasq .
