Wifi not working in kubuntu

Question

I installed Kubuntu 18.04 as a dual boot with Windows 10, recently, on my Dell Inspiron 3543. Bluetooth is working fine, but Wi-Fi is not working. I have tried almost every possible fix available in the internet, but still could not have it up and running. Ethernet is working fine. And wifi works fine in Windows 10.

I have Broadcom Wi-Fi card.

Is secure boot enabled on the laptop BIOS? That can definitely prevent it from working. I actually had the same Broadcom card in my laptop and disabling secure boot fixed the problem.

Does turning it off cause any problem? – Srijan Mukherjee May 23 '19 at 18:28

It's a security measure against malware and other system attacks. I've never enabled it before (on purpose). It's more relevant to Windows systems. – dannyjerome0 May 23 '19 at 18:49
