I have no network. I logged into LXDE and opened synaptic package manager and installed many plasma software "plasma..." and I now have internet access in KDE

I got the network problem again and I solved it using info on this website

QuoteFor KDE (Kubuntu)
Open up a Terminal and execute the following commands:

First, we download the latest NetworkManager, in case we need to reinstall if WICD doesn't works:

sudo apt-get install -d --reinstall network-manager plasma-widget-networkmanagement

Then we install WICD:
sudo apt-get install wicd-kde

And only then do we uninstall NetworkManager:

sudo apt-get remove --purge plasma-widget-networkmanagement network-manager
