Hello All,
I recently purchased a cheap laptop: Lenovo 330s-15arr. I followed these directions to solve 3 major problems with this particular model with Linux: https://www.reddit.com/r/kernel/comm...s_ubuntu_1804/.
Sorry for the long winded explination, but my question is... Is there a way to get wicd to recognize my wifi adapter? Why can networkmanager see it, but not wicd?
Thank you for your time.

- First, I had to configuring the BIOS and the SSD to boot elilo (modified from grub). I don't know why it wouldn't boot lilo or grub2 via MBR in legacy mode.
- Second, I was able to get the trackpad working via step 3, with a simple kernel append.
- Third, and the reason I am making this post: the rtl8821ce driver. I followed the link in the directions to an Ubuntu guide on getting the driver working. The long and short of it, is to download the driver from this repo: https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce. I used the SBo to build dkms and installed the driver. This lead to being able to see the adapter via iwconfig and bring it up via ifconfig. I could then search for hotspots via iwlist scan.

I'm trying to install drivers for my Wifi on my HP All-in-one desktop. I've been told to show the output of the command 'sudo lshw -C network' so here it is:
Output from 'lspci -nnk | grep -A2 0280':

(This question is a duplicate of Wi-Fi not working on Lenovo ThinkPad E570 (Realtek RTL8821CE) but I was pleased that we eventually found a solution so will write up what worked for Haz.)
As 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.
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: https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce
(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.)
It has, however, been reported to work just fine with Ubuntu 18.04.
The solution is taken directly from post #4 by Praseodym: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2398917 and will install a number of packages for building the wifi driver module (git, dkms, build-essential & linux-headers) and clone the git repository from tomaspinho.
DKMS is used because it's 'a system which will automatically recompile and install a kernel module when a new kernel gets installed or updated.'
Open up a terminal and type the following lines (You can cut and paste if you prefer):
![Realtek ac1200 driver for linux Realtek ac1200 driver for linux](/uploads/1/2/5/8/125834660/993845751.png)
After this is completed successfully, you should reboot and find that your Wifi is working.
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.

The commands in the post just before this were correct except for the git pull. There is a username and password authentication requirement so you have to just go to the webpage -- https://github.com/tomaspinho/rtl8821ce -- and download the .zip file. I then tried following through with changing the shell files to executable as suggested but when they ran there was a discrepency as to where the files needed to be located. (Im definitely not complaining, it can just be a bit confusing if you didn't really know what you were doing) The files need to be extracted to /usr/src/rtl8821ce-1.0.0 (make a new directory 'rtl8821ce-1.0.0' inside /usr/src) and THEN chmod +x dkms-install.sh, everything should work out like gravy from there.Thank you so much whoever wrote this script. I dumped about 600 dollars into this badass machine and was thinking the wifi wouldn't work. Cheers.
To be specific, the machine is a new HP Pavilion x360 2-in-1 with windows 10 and ubuntu studio 18.04.
