Summary:

I'm new to this Cloud VPS and Ubuntu so bear with me.

Running Ubuntu 20.04 as Cloud VPS

I have noticed on when run this command "ip link" there are no loopback IP like 127.0.0.1/8 and even no IP number are assined to the ens3 NIC.

Can someone tell me what's wrong and how to solve ?

This is what I see:

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
  link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: ens3: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 9000 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
  link/ether 02:00:17:00:7b:22 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
  altname enp0s3

Ubuntu 20.04 shows no loopback and no private IP numbers (how to solve?)

Howdy, Stranger!
