Strange that ubuntu didn't configure it at boot time. Go to system settings > network & connectivity > network settings > (enter root mode if needed) select your device connecting to internet -ethX- > configure device > automatic (dhcp) > start at boot time > accept.
I'm a spanish lang user so I must mispell something.
