Re: Restoring Kubuntu to it's former glory

no I must have accidentally fully removed some because trying to install wicd, wicd-daemon, python-wicd, wicd-gtk, and wicd-curses tells me I have 609 kb that needs downloaded

Ok for a little bit I have a connection via ethernet, but I don't know how to connect to the internet without a network manager

If anyone else finds this:

If you need to connect via konsole:

if you have network-manager, you need to stop it
sudo /etc/init.d/network-manager stop

if you have wicd or no gui for cnnection, you can just start here:

sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
iwlist wlan0 scanning <-- you only need to do this if you have no idea what your essid is called from your router
sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid linksys (replace linksys with whatever your router's essid is)
dhclient wlan0

If you have encrytpion turned on from your router,
append the iwconfig line with key like this

sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid (your essid) key (then your key)

then

dhclient wlan0
