eth0 network interface not showing

[sunday74]

Please help me out.
Before, it usually have the eth0 interface but i just realized at a point when i wanted to spoof my mac address that the eth0 interface is not there and when i use live booting from my flash drive, the eth0 interface is always there but on my main harddisk drive, it's no where to be found.

Here are the details with ifconfig

ifconfig

Thanks for your anticipated contributions

ifconfig is long deprecated, don't use it. Use 'ip' instead. To know if your interface is even detected, issue:

ip link

if it is, followit up with:

ip -4 addr

and it will tell you any interfaces that are up and allocated with an IP.

Your old eth0 could have been renamed to something different like enpXXX.

It may be down. Interfaces that are down aren't displayed by ifconfig, you have to append the -a parameter.
