Thank you Waterhead - password problem solved.............


sudo /etc/init.d/wicd stop
sudo dpkg-reconfigure wicd
sudo /etc/init.d/wicd start

Tried the above Reed9 and terminal finished with starting network connection manager - but do not seem to have any internet connection at all now - wired or wireless.......no top right screen internet logo either........

This just starts the daemon, ie, background process. Type ALT+F2
and then wicd-client. There should also be an entry in your menu.

Not wishing to push my luck on this forum I am hoping someone can help with my mystery internet problem

Run wicd-client from ther terminal and see if there is an error message.

You might try uninstalling it completely and reinstalling. I've never run into this problem before.

Afraid I took the easiest way out - I reverted to 9.04 and all is okay with the internet now - however still cannot use the laptop because of battery problem which I have put on the ubuntu forum..it never rains but it pours...
