Apparently I had problems with the lxd service, so I restarted the service
Service lxd restart
And now if it shows the network adapter, but is no longer called eth0, now has a similiar name to: "dbr0" but because of screen problems I cannot see the full name of the adapter.
My question is: can I send the output of the command
ifconfig -a
to a file so I can read it later with a file editor like nano or mc?
Of course you can. This is called redirection. Here's an example.
$ ifconfig -a > read.later
The above command will place the output of ifconfig -a into a file called read.later which you can open with the text editor of your choice or display to the screen with commands like more read.later or less read.later or even dare I say it cat read.later
For further detail on redirection, see How do I save terminal output to a file?
