In order to support end-users using Ubuntu over the telephone it is often
necessary to request the user to tell you their IP address. In previous
versions of ubuntu it was in two clicks Network, Network Status.
For some reason this information is no longer available in 18.04LTS Beta
1. This makes it very difficult to support.
It is unreasonable and not-secure for end users to be opening the
terminal to identify the IP address. Even if that is how Windows does
it, Ubuntu has always been better on supportability.
Steps to reproduce:
Click the combined Network, Volume, Power indicator dropdown
Click Wired Connected
Click Wired Settings
No IP, MAC, Gateway information shown. No useful information at all in
fact.
What should happen:
Click the Network Icon
Click Network Information
A dialog box (that you can copy paste from) with all the network information
IP, MAC, Gateway are shown.
