  • I have installed Ubuntu 18.04 in my Lenovo laptop.

  • It does not show up the WiFi options.

  • I tried downloading the drivers and installing them in the way as described here Wi-Fi not working on Lenovo ThinkPad E570 (Realtek RTL8821CE). But nothing in use.


  • Whenever i try to use make command, I get



    /bin/sh: 1: cc: not found
    (standard_in) 1: syntax error

  • The make command reports gcc is missing. If you want to compile the driver, install build-essential package.

  • Before going further, are you sure you have the exact same device? Even same models can come with different WiFi cards (and other parts, of course).

  • I suggest that you: sudo apt install libelf-dev and try again.

  • After installing build-essential also the problem exists with the error.

EDIT 2
- I have upgraded my kernel to 4.18.6 and also installed libelf-dev. Again when I enter make command. It gives

  • The make command reports gcc is missing. If you want to compile the driver, install build-essential package.

  • Before going further, are you sure you have the exact same device? Even same models can come with different WiFi cards (and other parts, of course).

  • I suggest that you: sudo apt install libelf-dev and try again.
