    KNetworkManager [closed but not solved]

    I started using Kubuntu a few months ago and everything was fine
    boxing day comes around and i turn my laptop on
    kubuntu starts up nice and proper

    and then i try to connect to my wireless router
    but i cant find the KNetworkManager icon
    or the programme
    so i search for it using dolphin and it cant find anything

    so i cant connect to any networks (wirelessly or through a LAN cable)
    i go to my vista partition to try and download the manager and install it that way
    i get the download folder and run the config file
    but nothing happens

    does anybodt know of anyway to get the manager back?

    Re: KNetworkManager

    First, welcome to KFN. Second, you will need to tell us what version of Kubuntu you are using, and what version of KDE. Third, if you know, what Ethernet controller is in your PC?

      Re: KNetworkManager

      I have had this issue too.
      To get the network working so you can reinstall the network manager do the following;
      Plug in an ethernet cable.
      Open a terminal and type 'ifconfig'
      You should see eth0 listed, with no ip address or other configuration.
      Now type 'sudo dhclient eth0'
      This will force eth0 (wired connection) to get a configuration and ip address from your dhcp server or router.
      Type 'ifconfig' again to confirm that the interface is now connected.
      Now you can open the package manager and it will connect to the repositories.
      Check and see if the network manager is showing as installed.
      If it is you made to do 'sudo apt-get purge network-manager' to remove it and also clear out it's stored settings.
      Then reinstall.
      You may also want to consider installing wicd instead.

        Re: KNetworkManager

        @snowhog

        the Kubuntu version is 9.10
        KDE versions is default for 9.10
        wireless driver is Atheros 7.03.01.25

        @pillage

        thanks
        that seems to work
        as i thought, the network manager was not installed (and i still have no idea how it got uninstalled)
        the network manager has now been reinstalled and all seems to be working


        ALTERNATIVELY
        i found that reinstalling kubuntu can also work
        long and lengthy process though
        much easier to just reinstall networkmanager

          Re: KNetworkManager (SOLVED)

          Glad to be of help.
          Took me a while to find the dhclient command.
          It makes life a whole lot easier when things go pear shaped with the networking.
          And yes, a clean install will do it, but yes that is also starting from scratch.
          Leave that method of fixing problems to the windows world.

            Re: KNetworkManager (SOLVED)

            well i fixed the lack of network manager
            but now my computer will not connect wirelessly
            using knetworkmanger it shows the router signal, and i click to activate but then it stops the activation almost immediately

            using a LAN cable will grant me access to the internet though

            i tried to install wicd using the konsole
            and it shows

            Code:
            ***@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install wicd
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Couldn't find package wicd
            i tried to install some other packages too, but i get the same error of being unable to find the package

              Run first, sudo apt-get update and then try the install again.

                      fixed it
                      i changed the /etc/apt/sources.list file
                      and now its working again
                      so i should be able to run wicd now

                      EDIT:
                      no, wicd doesnt exist still apparently
                      although wine does
                      still confused as to whats wrong
