I'm very new to Linux and this community. The computer is a gift to a friend who will only use Ubuntu and needs wifi.



I bought the Lenovo. Installed an SSD. Downloaded 18.02 and installed.



There is no wireless showing on the main screen. Ethernet is okay.



I found two articles here which had text to paste into Terminal. These ran apparently without error. Both predicted that wireless would appear after a reboot but it doesn't for me.



I notice that airplane mode can't be found in Activities. Working F5 (airplane symbol) does nothing.



I tried other text (lsm?) in Terminal which supposedly looks for installed drivers. In the long list is a Realtek network block of info. It has some text saying "unclaimed."



I read that I must be sure that secure boot in BIOS must be disabled. I don't find that in the BIOS but I've set things to l egacy boot before running terminal input above.



Much of the discussion I read here is beyond me.



Help and thanks.
