  1. Do you have a smartphone with an active internet connection? If you have, then you can use your phone's internet through USB cable. You only need to turn on USB tethering and connect it to your Kubuntu PC. Or another way is to connect through Bluetooth by turning on Bluetooth tethering. To install wifi driver, first of all, check which brand's adapter you have through the command lsusb, you will get the list of all the USB devices installed on your computer.

    Here, in my case, I have a Realtek adapter, so I have installed the RTL driver. You may have Broadcom or maybe another adapter.
