Thanks Pilot6 (hanipouspilot) for the support. I did as you suggested above.
dkms was already installed so I moved to install those 2 debs. The bt deb installed with no problems. The rtlwifi deb could not install with the software center as it told me that a later version is already installed. So I went to terminal and installed from there. The process began and finished but I noticed mid-way that it said that it could not create module for kernel 3.19 but instead created for 4.20 and all the other kernels I have previously booted. Funny enough, after finishing the installation, I tested bluetooth manually by toggling from settings: still no effect so I rebooted. Grub booted me straight from 3.19 to 4.20 which I found weird since I had been using 3.19. Anyways tested BT manually, still no change. And kernel 4.20(IDK whether it is only my setup or what) has broken wifi. So I have gone back to a lower version kernel so I can get wifi back. Could there be another alternative? I am out of my wits here!
