Title:
  Upgrading Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS to version 24.04 LTS failed.

Status in ubuntu-release-upgrader package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The upgrade died before completing.  I have no DNS (no resolved).
  Every network access gives "Temporary failure in name resolution."  I
  have tried suggestions from this forum, but most require an "apt
  install" that further need to access us.archive.ubuntu.com (or
  similar), which of course fails.  I have just one (wireless) network
  connection on the machine.  Will it be necessary to download all of
  Ubuntu onto a local thumb drive?

  The network card seems to be working.  ifconfig gives "wlp2s0: ...
  inet 192.168.1.195 ..."  mpcli also show s connectivity to my network
  as wlp2s0.  In case this was the issue, I have bought a USB wifi
  dongle, but I was not able to build (make) the driver because of the
  lack of network access.

  There is no resolved.conf in /etc/systemd/.  "sudo systemctl start
  resolved.service" resulted in "Failed to start resolved.service: Unit
  resolved.service not found."  I also tried a few other blind alleys,
  all of which gave a similar impasse.

  This is the third machine I have tried to upgrade.  The first stopped
  and had to be repaired three or more times, but is now usable.  The
  second still has issues with the gnome displays.  All in all, I'm not
  very happy although still patient.

  Any guidance appreciated.  Btw, I used to have more relevant
  expertise, but that was for the first machine which initially ran
  12.04 or 14.04.  I have not kept current.

  Thanks, Gareth.
