Wi-Fi stopped working on Ubuntu 18.10 with Linux 4.18.0-12
After Linux upgraded from 4.18.0-11-generic to 4.18.0-12-generic on my Ubuntu 18.10 network connection stopped working and on Wi-Fi settings the message: "No Wi-Fi adapter found" is shown. I can still get the connection working by selecting Linux 4.18.0-11 from the startup menu. I have ASUS Vivobook Flip 15 laptop with no Ethernet adapter available so I must get the connection working either via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS did not work for my laptop because of Wi-Fi adapter was not recognized, but Ubuntu 18.10 did work before this latest upgrade.
Network controller (apparently):
Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8822BE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WiFi adapter
Solution: after disabling secure boot via Asus BIOS utility (boot options, scroll down with touchpad to the secure boot option, disable) and rebooting the Wi-Fi adapter started working.
Thanks, @chili555
I noticed this has already been reported as a bug here: RTL8822BE WiFi Disabled in Kernel 4.18.0-12

We found, by investigation, that secure boot was turned on in your BIOS but that turning it off restored the wireless.
In the standard Ubuntu installation, all modules are supposed to be signed, therefor satifying secure boot. It appears that r8822be is either not signed or is improperly signed. I suggest that you register and file a bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu
