airodump-ng mon0 not woking with eth2 interface

Question

I am new to ubuntu os.I have installed aircrack successfully and trying to execute the command sudo airodump-ng mon0 but its not working.How to fix this issue ?

Error:

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo airmon-ng start waln0


Found 4 processes that could cause trouble.
If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after
a short period of time, you may want to kill (some of) them!

The system is telling you exactly what the problem is:

Found 4 processes that could cause trouble.
If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after
a short period of time, you may want to kill (some of) them!

PID Name
1382    avahi-daemon
1383    avahi-daemon
1433    NetworkManager
14727   wpa_supplicant

You want to kill all of the above processes (by using kill <PID> as a superuser).

After that, everything else should work just as expected.
