I just bought a Lenovo ideapad S130 141GM and installed Ubuntu Budgie 19.04. The wifi chip is a rtl8821ce so i had to install a driver with the commands :
sudo apt-get 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
After rebooting, it worked, i could see many networks, but not my box. After that i used a wifi dongle with a RTL8188EUS which worked directly out of the box and saw the same networks and my box.
My box is working on channel 6, so it is not a problem of country channel allocation. The signal level o my box is of course much higher than the signal of all others networks and there is no other network on channel 6 (I tried on other channel without success too). My provider is "Free".
Does somebody have the same problem solved and could give me a hint of where to look (I would be happy to be able to use again the usb connector occupied by the wifi dongle) ?
Thanks in advance.
my box means the wifi i get from my provider (sorry, im french and don't know exactly what the name is in english for the ADSL interface you have at home). I'll try your suggestion and tell you what happens.-Frank
