[Bug 1699660] Re: systemd-resolve breaks resolution of local network hostnames

[Evgeni]

One more affected usecase - wired LAN connection is not working properly for VMWare Virtual Machine.
I use laptop with Win10 and run Ubuntu 18.04 as guest OS with VMWare.
Everything worked fine with Ubuntu 16 and 14, but with the current version the DNS resolution is now broken and I cannot run even "sudo apt update"

Can someone publish instructions how to work around this issue ?

P.S
Interestingly enough, FireFox is able to reach internet, probably by circumventing the built-in DNS resolution mechanism.

Title:
  systemd-resolve breaks resolution of local network hostnames

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After upgrading to Ubuntu 17.04 (zesty), resolution of my local
  network's host names is completely broken.  Apparently the upgrade
  replaced my existing resolver with systemd-resolve, which deliberately
  refuses to pass "single-label" domain names to my domain name server.
  That is the server where all my network's host names are kept, so I
  can no longer resolve any of them.

  Apparently, this is yet another example of Poettering's upstream decisions causing denial of service to people who have been saddled with his malware.

  Would someone sensible please put a stop to this forced breakage
  during upgrade, and advise on how to fix it now that the damage has
  been done?
