Network Manager not running - no internet

[RIT_girl]

Hello,

I probably did something that turned off my network manager, but currently I cannot get internet wired or wireless. Any suggestions would be helpful? I run eeebuntu standard.

Recently to my computer I downloaded gtkpod and deleted all the bluetooth applications, but I don't think that would really impact this.

thanks,

Oh, the last thing I did was use install the acroread packages.

Is the network manager running?

Try typing:

nm-applet

[RIT_girl]

I ran that in the terminal, and it said it can be found in the following packages: network-manager gnone and mythbuntu-diskless client, but it gave no indication if it was running.

[RIT_girl]

Okay, I tried /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start and it appeared to start,until I got the screen that said I must be in root to run Network Manager,

I thank typed "~$ root" and repeated it, and nothing...

[minsf]

in a terminal run
sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager restart

You need to use sudo as
sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager start

[RIT_girl]

All solved, the root was different. Thanks for your help! It was that Network Manager start...

[RIT_girl]

And thanks for understanding I'm a noob and not so quick with the syntax. :)

glad to hear things are working now.
in general, you'll need to use "sudo" before a command that needs superuser (root) permissions. (or if you get an error due to permissions, "sudo !!" will run the previous command with root permissions). check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
have fun

Every time I restart my computer the network manager isn't running and I have to use sudo /etc/init.d/NetworkManager eeatart to get it working again. Any ideas?

I too have the same problem where NetworkManager is not running on boot. I have to manually type sudo NetworkManager afer each reboot to get the daemon running. nm-applet is starting in the tray fine.
If the nm-applet is clicked it also reports that NetworkManager is not running.

This could do with fixing. Its really annoying to have to keep launching the network manager manually.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks
