[Bug 1661716] [NEW] Domain names not resolving on bootup

[Tom Magee]

Public bug reported:

I just installed Ubuntu 16.10 on my System76 Pangolin Performance
laptop. After bootup, connecting to the internet via a WiFi connection,
both Chromium and Firefox failed to resolve any domain names (cnn.com,
google.com, etc.) I entered into the browser. I at first thought that my
internet connection was not working, so I opened up a terminal and
entered "ping 8.8.8.8" and was surprised to see that the ping attempt
was successful. However, when I tried to ping a domain name
(google.com), I was not successful.

I then entered "sudo service systemd-resolved restart" and the problem
was resolved.

This is a recurring problem. Every time I start up my laptop I have to
restart systemd-resolved or else both the browser and command line are
unable to resolve domain names.
