    Missing eth0 interface

    Hello guys,

    I just installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, and I'm trying to connect to the internet via ethernet but it's doesn't work.
    I checked ifconfig, and I don't see 'eth0', only something 'enp2s0f0' and the 'lo'.
    Also checked the /etc/network/interfaces, and added the following:
    Code:
    auto eth0
    iface eth0 inet dhcp
    Code:
    dmesg | grep eth0
    gives the following:
    enp2s0f0: renamed from eth0

    I've found a lot of similar issues online and tried almost every solution posted, but it isn't working.

    Could you please advise?
    Thank you!

    Just live with the fact it's called enp2s0f0 and not eth0. That's the new naming convention, apparently.
    Use this instead:
    Code:
    auto enp2s0f0
    iface enp2s0f0 inet dhcp
