Hello people,
I am going crazy... I just installed Mint, added the Guest edition and downloaded vim.
When I try to manually configure my network, I can't seem to find my Primary Network interface.
ifconfig: https://imgur.com/r1rvNzd
Interfaces: https://imgur.com/DPHjDqS
Please any help is appreciated.
P.S This is my network settings in Virtual Box. I have only 1 active network card: https://imgur.com/1Qth5K1
I am in the process in learning Linux, so please don't be too harsh on me!

Please don't post images to third party sites, most people won't go there instead they are likely to just move on to other issues. You should use the "Upload Attachment" button to embed them into your post.

My crystal ball is currently broken. If you want assistance you are going to have to give me all of the necessary information.
Please don't ask me to do your homework for you, I have more than enough of my own things to do.

Slight correction; "Guest Additions", or GAs for short...sijoluja wrote:added the Guest edition
Why? You have it setup as DHCP, and you're getting the correct IP for your setup, everything is working as it should:sijoluja wrote:When I try to manually configure my network
mint@mint-VirtualBox:~$ ifconfig enp0s3: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 inet 10.0.2.15 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.0.2.255
What's the "Primary Network interface"? Where did you see that?sijoluja wrote:I can't seem to find my Primary Network interface
What do you want to do, and why?

Re: Fresh install and cant find the primary interface
Hello Socratis,
Thank you for your reply. I am in the process of learning how to manually configure a network.
I am watching Eli's video on how to do so, and it should look like the picture below. This is what I need in order to change the IP into static and add subnet etc.

Re: Fresh install and cant find the primary interface
Sure... If you're using the same exact OS from 2011 when the video was shot. I don't think it's going to look the same on your Mint 8 years later. In fact, because I do have a Mint 19 VM, it doesn't.sijoluja wrote:I am watching Eli's video on how to do so, and it should look like the picture below
Tutorials are a starting point, not the Book of Truth. You need to look for something more ... recent. For example, in the video it talks about "eth0", his primary interface. Well, it's not "eth0" anymore, it's "enp0s3" in your case. And there's no entry for that in your "/etc/network/interfaces", because things have changed.
How about starting from telling us what you want to do, and not how to do it by following an outdated tutorial. Why do you want a static IP? And in what range? Because changing the IP manually to something random is not going to work if you're using the NAT option for example...sijoluja wrote:This is what I need in order to change the IP into static and add subnet etc.
