   lost wired internet connection Ubuntu 22

   My laptop has been working fine since the fresh install of 22.04.   
   Today, however, I noticed a question mark instead of the connection icon   
   while trying to connect to my wired router.  First step was to swap out   
   the 50 foot cat5 cable, same thing.  Then, swap out for another shorter   
   one I use for situations like now when I need to get back on the   
   desktop.  Still have the question mark.  As you can see, my connection   
   is fine from the desktop and both are using the same router.   
      
   Trying to troubleshoot, first thing I did was to turn off "connectivity   
   checking" under privacy.  That gives the solid connection icon now, but   
   still no apparent connectivity.   
      
   I've tried to restart network manager and get a message about failing to   
   restart, but that was before rebooting.  Once rebooted, no difference,   
   still unable to connect.   
      
   Any suggestions welcome.  Everything had been working fine until this   
   morning.   
      
   Thanks in advance.
