First, I installed Ubuntu 14.04.3 in beaglebone black board.
Then, I tried to install GUI on this board, but I failed.
Searching the instructions how to install GUI, I found this question in this group:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/beagleboard/ubuntu$2014.04$20gui/beagleboard/eSZgRa65L-I/-1tEMq-IKUgJ

So, I tried to install xorg.conf. Here is the result:

sudo ifconfig -a

I had the same issue.

After adding the following line to the /etc/hosts file solved the issue:

91.189.88.151 ports.ubuntu.com

I’m running bone-ubuntu-14.04.3-console-armhf-2015-12-11-2gb.img. My BBB is connected to my LAN with an Ethernet cable to a router that is configured to pickup DNS from the WAN from my ISP. My installation negotiated a valid DHCP lease, however, it couldn’t resolve DNS. When I inspected /etc/resolv.conf, it showed,

Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8)

DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND – YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN

nameserver 192.168.1.1

where 192.168.1.1 is not valid on my network. To solve this problem, I edited /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head to add the DNS server entries for my network,

nameserver 192.168.2.1
nameserver 8.8.8.8

and rebooted. This had the effect of adding the nameserver entries to /etc/resolv.conf, and Ubuntu could resolve DNS.
