I have been looking at several websites to try and set up wifi on Ubuntu with no success. OK, this website talks about the post 18.04 way. But how do you set it up after that version? I saw this website as well, and it talks about some of the differences but I still haven't been successful yet. Here are some things I have tried to do.
ip addr show
When I do this, I get this output:
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: enp2s0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DOWN group default qlen 1000
link/ether f4:39:09:22:a6:60 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
Then I tried a similar command.
ip a
When I do this, I see this output:
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: enp2s0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DOWN group default qlen 1000
link/ether f4:39:09:22:a6:60 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
With this command, I can see a little more information than the prior.
I have also just tried to connect using the mouse. This is what I see when I go to the WIFI in settings:
For the no adapter issue, this Youtube video looked promising.
I gave this command.
#apt-get remove --purge bcmwl-kernel-source
But unfortunately, it didn't work. This is the output:
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package bcmwl-kernel-source
root@brian-HP-Slim-Desktop-290-a0xxx:/home/brian#
Note: I tried to install it using a live cd just to see if I could and it tried.
Here are some more things that I have done to gather information for this question.
lspci
And this is the output.
01:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8821CE
802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 15)
rfkill list
This is the output
0: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
Next I did this.
dmesg
A lot of information came up, but it was too much for this website.
I also did this.
lsmod
Same problem, too much information and I couldn't post it. In reading some of this information. It said something was blocked because I used secureboot when I downloaded the OS. I will be honest, I don't think I know what secureboot is.I hope this information helps.
I am using a Century Link router, model number C1000A. It is not connected directly to the computer. I would be grateful to any and all who could render any kind of assistance, thank you.

What's going on here is that your WiFi adapter is not recognized. Please borrow/bribe/buy/steal ;-) an Ethernet cable, hook up your machine to the router that way and run this script so we can give you the perfect answer! 0:-) And thanks for converting the screenshots to text...

You have Realtek RTL8821CE hardware, so use the following steps:
Open up a terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T and type:
cd /tmp/
sudo apt install --reinstall git dkms build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)
git clone https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce
cd rtl8821ce
chmod +x dkms-install.sh
chmod +x dkms-remove.sh
sudo ./dkms-install.sh
Which will download the Arch source and build the driver. After the above is completed, you can insmod the driver or simply reboot.
Warning: As you're downloading and building your own driver, ensure SecureBoot is disabled in the UEFI Firmware / BIOS if a simple reboot would not bring the desired result.

Hi Fabby, I tried to follow you instructions but this is the output that I got. Package build-essential is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source.

For the package bcmwl-kernel-source to be available, you need to enable the restricted repository.
You need to run software-properties-gtk and enable the restricted repository.
Then you will be able to install bcmwl-kernel-source

Hi solsTiCe- Thank you for your efforts to help me, however restricted drivers was already checked. I noticed something else, too. I tried to start with step one after it didn't work from where I left off, and my computer can't find the bcmwl-kernel-source driver to begin with. I will supply a screenshot of what I see.

Which will download the Arch source and build the driver. After the above is completed, you can insmod the driver or simply reboot.
Warning: As you're downloading and building your own driver, ensure SecureBoot is disabled in the UEFI Firmware / BIOS if a simple reboot would not bring the desired result.

Hi Fabby, I tried to follow you instructions but this is the output that I got. Package build-essential is not available, but is referred to by another package. This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source.

@BJsgoodlife For the missing package follow this first and if that fails do this one instead.

You have Realtek RTL8821CE hardware, so use the following steps:
Open up a terminal by pressing Ctrl+Alt+T and type:
cd /tmp/
sudo apt install --reinstall git dkms build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)
git clone https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce
cd rtl8821ce
chmod +x dkms-install.sh
chmod +x dkms-remove.sh
sudo ./dkms-install.sh
Which will download the Arch source and build the driver. After the above is completed, you can insmod the driver or simply reboot.

For the package bcmwl-kernel-source to be available, you need to enable the restricted repository.
You need to run software-properties-gtk and enable the restricted repository.
Then you will be able to install bcmwl-kernel-source

Hi solsTiCe- Thank you for your efforts to help me, however restricted drivers was already checked. I noticed something else, too. I tried to start with step one after it didn't work from where I left off, and my computer can't find the bcmwl-kernel-source driver to begin with. I will supply a screenshot of what I see.

Please edit your question and convert the screenshots to text as that's searchable by google, whereas images are not... Also, please go here and add the additional info from there into your question. Then leave a message @Fabby ;-) 0:-)

What's going on here is that your WiFi adapter is not recognized. Please borrow/bribe/buy/steal ;-) an Ethernet cable, hook up your machine to the router that way and run this script so we can give you the perfect answer! 0:-) And thanks for converting the screenshots to text...
