When I run ifconfig I see a specific mac address connected to my Ethernet connection.
So to change my mac address, I go to the topright where the internet connections are displayed, click on the Edit Connections option. Then I get the Network Connections popup, and I select the only Ethernet connection available and click the Edit button. From there I get the Editing Wired connection 1 window, with the Ethernet tab selected. In the Cloned MAC Address: input, I place in the NEW mac address I want to use, and click save.
From there I use ifconfig again in the terminal, and I see that nothing has changed.
QUESTION: Why is the previous process not changing my mac address. :(
UPDATE:
Just to clarrify why this question is not a duplicate, the answer linked is outdated (2011) and the Ubuntu layout is no longer the same. You'll see a comment on that question from someone else saying that the answer in fact does not work anymore
