I have a Dell Vostro 5490 with Ubuntu 18.04 installed in dual boot with Windows 10. I currently have no WIFI. I have tried to update and upgrade my packages, and I have also followed this guide, but without success. Except for the things mentioned, my Ubuntu is completely stock, I have not done any other modifications. Please help me out with this issue, any help would be greatly appreciated!
