How can I see my mac address on Ubuntu?

Solution 1:

Update

As described in the newer answer below, the modern solution is to run:

ip addr show

The MAC address is shown in the link/ether field.

Original Answer

Open a terminal and run ifconfig:

ifconfig | grep HWaddr

Solution 2:

Use ip command instead of the outdated ifconfig

Command :

$ ip addr show

link/ether field of the output is the MAC address (Both for Wi-fi and ethernet connections, MAC address is represented by link/ether). Mostly this will be present in the second line.

Example :

$ ip addr show
1: enp2s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000
    link/ether a0:54:9f:53:b2:6e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

In my case a0:54:9f:53:b2:6e is the MAC address.

Solution 3:

Try ifconfig, and look at the "HWaddr".
