I installed some updates and after a restart the network manager thing in the taskbar said NetworkManager wasnt running so i tried to run it in terminal and it said i didnt have permission so i ran it with sudo and it worked. How do I get it to automatically start?

UPDATE:
fixed with sudo apt install --reinstall network-manager

sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager

In a terminal should just add it to start up when the service is enabled.

    Oof,

    sudo apt install --reinstall network-manager

    Thats what I'd do instead of recrafting the service or whatever. Kubuntu ships with network manager so it seems broken to me but maybe someone who actually uses Kubuntu can be more insightful.

    Edit: wait I am dumb, you can't get to the internet huh?

    If you can't get to the internet, at least grep for the package

    dpkg -l | grep network-manager

    to see if it didnt get nuked somehow. If it prints to the console its there.

    Then you need to check the services in etc/systemd/system/ for one called NetworkManager. Its probably not there.
