I was getting dns probe finished message in chrome on Ubuntu 18.04 so I looked up on the internet and tried to run the following commands.

sudo rm/etc/resolv.conf

sudo ln -s /var/run/resolvconf/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf

Above 2 commands executed successfully but the following didn't.

sudo resolvconf -u

It gives an error message that resolvconf is not installed.

Now, nothing is working and /etc/resolv.conf file is empty. I'm not even able to edit it (I tried to a add nameserver 8.8.8.8).

Please help.

Edit: i'm still getting ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVE and here's the output of 'service --status-all`.
