No Ideas about how to find out what broke it, but a week or so ago I
Reinstalled kubuntu 22.04 and in the disk formatting I did it
manually and kept my /Home partition as it was, and that worked
without loss of data (AFAIK). And it also kept the configuration of
programs that had configurations in the Home partition, like Thunderbird.
I've actually fixed the Plasma Widgets (I remembered that the config for
these is on a per user basis, so I restored the .config/ directory from
my backup).
I still can't get my wired Ethernet connection working; does anyone know
where Network-Manager stores its settings, so that I can restore that
file? I've tried to configure it using the System
Settings/Connections/Wired Connection 1 but nothing seems to work. I
then tried Peter's suggestion.

That would have been a good idea Peter, if I hadn't been so dumb. I
should have done reinstall network-manager, but instead I did uninstall
;-( Now I have no network connection at all on that machine.
Does anyone know how to get the original .deb file for Network Manager?
I found reference to it at:
/var/cache/apt/archives/network-manager_1.44.2-1ubuntu1.2_amd64.deb
using locate, but it has clearly been removed subsequent to locate
indexing it. I can recall downloading .deb packages from somewhere on
the Internet, but I can no longer find the place. Does anyone know
where the Kubuntu packages are stored?
