Someone wanted to take a look to kde on Ubuntu 18.04 in my laptop, so did:

`sudo tasksel install kubuntu-desktop`

After rebooting and all did:

`sudo tasksell remove kubuntu-desktop`

and now I don't have GUI. The problem is that I can't also have network, neither by WiFi or ethernet. So I can't install packages.

The best way to fix that is to reinstall Ubuntu? Or there is a way to recover the ability to connect to network?

BTW, yes: "someone" was myself.
Shame on me 😔

    One shall never install and uninstall another DE especially on Ubuntu...reinstall is probably the best way to fix that mess.

    Boot from USB and chroot into that Ubuntu, then reinstall DE. Root required.

    mount /dev/sda1 /mnt

    cd /mnt

    mount -t tmpfs tmpfs tmp

    mount -t sysfs sys sys

    mount -t proc proc proc

    chroot .

    mount -a

    apt update

    apt install ubuntu-desktop
