Why am i not seeing any network interfaces on Ubuntu?
no interfaces are come up
Probably best to point to the canonical source for this in the Wireshark Users Guide so that no-one has to go around and fix all these individual wiki posts.
The place to go is here
It is normal, not to see the interfaces until you have completed the following steps in Ubuntu: Open a Terminal by pressing CTRL + Alt + T Type the following commands. Because you run sudo you will be prompted for your password
sudo dpkg-reconfigure wireshark-common
menu will pop up, press right arrow and select yes
sudo adduser $USER wireshark
sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/dumpcap
The commands mentioned above will differ between different versions of Ubuntu So this is a guideline
This should solve your problem.

On what version, of what operating system, is this? And what version of Wireshark are you using?
wireshark 2.4.2
linux ubuntu 17.10 i cant find my interface
That is an incredibly old version of Wireshark, It may run into other issues of analysing captures
