HELP--Network Manager Deleted
My Recent Ubuntu 10.10 update recommended that i remove 4 programs, one of which was my network manager. Because this is gone i can no longer access the internet. The connection logo is no longer in the top-right corner either.
Any help would be much appreciated,
Thanks alot,
Carson M

apt-get install network-manager
or you can configure you network settings in /etc/network/interfaces
#example
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.105
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 192.168.0.1
dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4
Hope this helps

You can check by running this command in the terminal:
If nothing comes up you can install it again using the instructions Swapnil gave you. Although, I'm wondering what kind up update would ask for the removal of network-manager.
When i entered that in, it replied, "E: Invalid operation policy".
Does that mean it's completely removed?
I haven't run a Debian based distro in a couple of years and I'm getting rusty on my apt-get's.
I tried using the Synaptic approach by getting the network-manager off of the Ubuntu CD but wasnt sure how to get it. I also tried your second approach:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
address 192.168.104.161
netmask 255.255.252.0
gateway 192,168,104,1
I wasnt sure on how to get the DNS Servers through another computer.
Am i supposed to run the ppoeconf command after this?
It still says the same thing about and "Invalid Operation Policy"
I dont think that the policy exists seeing as how it was deleted.
