How to fix Network Manager Disabled ubuntu 10.04 Lucid

[mnharrisburg]

Thanks for keeping this post up since it comes up nicely in a Google search!

Got access to the internet up and running after running the command 'sudo rm/var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state' in terminal and re-booted However, I no longer get them same nice message in the 'tray' that verifies the network is running at 100M like I used to (simply says 'unavailable' under the grayed icon for networks).

Following some previous threads earlier, I went into hardware system settings (Network Manager Backend), and moved 'Wicd' up in front of 'NetworkManager 0.7' since there was some discussion about being this being better. Trying to run the application 'KNetworkManager' doesn't open up any window, either before or after the move with Wicd.

Anyone have any knowledge of a thread that addresses this particular issue? That tray verification message is a nice 'warm and fuzzy' that everything is working right.

I had several problems in 10.04 on my toshiba laptop. I've tried several fixes over the past 2 weeks and no resolution. Tonight, I upgraded to 10.10. Issues are gone. Some pages take 1 second longer to load than other pages but most/all pages seem to load in under 2 seconds. Takes an 1 hour and a half to upgrade but so far its been worth it. I also suggest backing up before/after upgrade. To upgrade to 10.10 go to System>Administration>Update manager. Click on upgrade to 10.10. I'm not sure why/what fixed the problem but it did.
I also had a problem with 10.04 network disabled on boot. It resolved this issue as well. Hope this helps someone....
