When Update Manager offers a later kernel version, known as linux-image, after the requested reboot, you must recompile: cd rtl8821ce Proofread carefully, twice, and save (Ctrl+o followed by Enter) and close (Ctrl+x) the text editor.ĮDIT: You have compiled the module for your currently running kernel version only.

To now read: export TopDIR ?= $ ~/Downloads/rtl8821ce Scroll down to line 152 and change the line that now reads: export TopDIR ?= $(srctree)/drivers/net/wireless/rtl8821ce Unless you have specified otherwise in your browser, downloads go to the directory Downloads.

If you are not currently running it now, I suggest that you re-install it.Ĭlick this link to download the driver file: You also want to make sure SecureBoot is Disabled in the BIOS settings or it won't let you load the unsigned self-complied kernel module.įirst, I would suggest that these instructions are more likely to work with Ubuntu 17.10.

Open up a terminal and type the following lines (You can cut and paste if you prefer): sudo apt-get install -reinstall git dkms build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)Īfter this is completed successfully, you should reboot and find that your Wifi is working. The solution is taken directly from post #4 by Praseodym (much praise to their wisdom!): and will install a number of packages for building the wifi driver module (git, dkms, build-essential & linux-headers) and clone the rtl8821ce git repository from tomaspinho (much praise also!).ĭKMS is used because it's "a system which will automatically recompile and install a kernel module when a new kernel gets installed or updated." It has, however, been reported to work just fine with Ubuntu 18.04.Ī temporary internet connection will be required (such as an ethernet cable, USB wifi dongle or connecting your phone with a usb cable and ' tethering' it to use your phone's Wifi) (Minor note: as of February 2019 tomaspinho is sadly no longer able to maintain the driver as he no longer has access to a computer with this chipset, and so a new maintainer may be needed, but the driver still works with Ubuntu 18.04 as at that time.) Over on github there is a repository with an RTL8821CE driver aimed at kernels 4.14 and above and specifically for Arch Linux with no support provided for other Linux Distros: This is a follow up to stason's answer who suggests using dkms.Īs far as I can tell, at the time of writing this, there is not yet a Wifi Driver for the Realtek RTL8821CE in the official Ubuntu Repositories. Same problem stands, however, just with a crappier wireless chip.

which means that the specs presented on the product page of the shop I bought this laptop at were not accurate. I just noticed that the laptop does not have an Intel wireless chip at all, but in fact has a Realtek one. Hard blocked: dmesg | grep lspci -nnk | grep 0280 -A3Ġ5:00.0 Network controller : Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Further information modinfo iwlwifi | grep 8265 I have also installed the Linux 4.14.9 kernel in an attempt to get things to work, but this did not resolve the issue either. Modinfo iwlwifi | grep 8265 shows me a file ending in -34 is supposedly loaded but only a file ending in -33 (and some other lower numbers) is present in /lib/firmware, if that helps).

I think it is a combined Wi-Fi/Bluetooth chip, and Bluetooth does appear to work (or at least Bluetooth shows up in Gnome and rfkill list). The wireless chip is not detected by lshw (or even lspci by the looks of it), ip link does not show a wireless interface, and the iwlwifi kernel module is not loaded at boot (I can load this myself using modprobe iwlwifi but this does not make Wi-Fi work). I also tried Ubuntu 16.04 from a USB drive since that is the version of Ubuntu it is certified for, but no luck there either. but no such luck.įirst, I installed Ubuntu 17.10 and after installation realised Wi-Fi was not working. This laptop was bought in part because it is certified to run Ubuntu and as such to me at least it would make sense for things to work out of the box. We just bought a Lenovo ThinkPad E570 (which is supposed to have the Intel 8265 for wireless).
