I recently installed Ubuntu 18.04 on my laptop, at the moment of the installation it didn't ask me for a WiFi connection, and it hasn't worked since then.

Here are some of the commands I have used.

Code:

$ sudo lshw -c network
[sudo] password for jenn: 
*-network UNCLAIMED       
     description: Network controller

$ iwconfig

$ lspci -nn -d 10ec:

$ uname -a
Linux jenn 4.15.0-36-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Mon Sep 24 16:19:09 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The network appears unclaimed.

I have seen other cases in which this commands output other options, but in my case, there is only that one.

Finally, there are no additional drivers, even though I am connected with memory that gives me internet. .

I'm new in Linux distribution, so I'm really lost with this issue. Thanks in advance.

According to this post, the problem could be solved:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall git dkms build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)
git clone https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce
cd rtl8821ce
chmod +x *.sh
sudo ./dkms-install.sh
reboot
