Wifi not found: Ubuntu 18.4 / HP
1
Please advise (not an expert, please keep it clear and simple):
I installed Ubuntu 18.4 on my HP 15 laptop. Everything else I managed to fix but Ubuntu does not find WIFI. I googled and tried several suggested solutions but the solutions I tried did not work did not work because there are "broken packages".
How do I
- Fix broken packages?
- Fix WiFi?
