I see WiFi networks; but when I select one there is no dialogue to enter a password. So I have no WiFi, only wired connection.

The output of pgrep NetworkManager is: 951. Ubuntu version is 14.04

What can I do to get the password dialogue back?

This answer is a bit of overkill, but the easiest way of circumventing the problem you have: Install another network Manager.

Steps to take:

  1. Take a full system backup (You've just been promoted to user type 4!)

  2. sudo apt-get install -d --reinstall network-manager network-manager-gnome

    Now is the time to stop and reflect and already test whether this already solved your problem.

    No? OK, lets get on to the next step:

  3. sudo apt-get install wicd-gtk
  4. sudo apt-get remove --purge network-manager-gnome network-manager

OK, so now you've got rid of the old network manager and have a new one. Now you need to open it and configure your network:

  1. Go to the dash and type wicd and click the sole icon there.
  2. Voilà: now you just have to add the config for your network
