I'm trying to figure out how to re-activate the Wi-Fi options in Ubuntu 18.04.02 Desktop Settings:
As you can see from the screenshot I've taken, there is no on/off button for wifi.
I followed the indications found here: No wifi option on Ubuntu (18.04 and 16.04) but without success ...

Error! DKMS tree already contains: rtl8821ce-v5.5.2_34066.20190614
You cannot add the same module/version combo more than once.
Module rtl8821ce/v5.5.2_34066.20190614 already built for kernel
5.0.0-37-generic/4
Module rtl8821ce/v5.5.2_34066.20190614 already installed on kernel
5.0.0-37-generic/x86_64
Finished running dkms install steps.
I then disabled SecureBoot:
riccardo@riccardo-HP-Laptop-15-da0xxx:~/rtl8821ce$ sudo mokutil 0--disable-validation password length: 8~16 input password: input password again: o
and rebooted. But still not able to see the options on/off for WiFi Settings.
What am I missing?
3° Update :
I removed the previous rtl8821ce folder, git cloned again rtl8821ce repository, removed the previous rtl8821ce installation, and re-installed again:
riccardo@riccardo-HP-Laptop-15-da0xxx:~/rtl8821ce$ sudo make install
