And install Ubuntu 18.04.

and there is no this /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv:
Then update the system and set up DNS:
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade
sudo reboot
sudo apt install resolvconf
Add the following to /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head:
nameserver 8.8.4.4
nameserver 8.8.8.8
and restart DNS service:
sudo service resolvconf restart
cat /etc/resolv.conf
# 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
# 127.0.0.53 is the systemd-resolved stub resolver.
# run "systemd-resolve --status" to see details about the actual nameservers.
nameserver 8.8.4.4
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 127.0.0.53
search mshome.net
options edns0
Then I synchronize the time:
sudo apt install chrony
sudo chronyd -q
