Hi. I have updated Zorin OS 17 Pro a few minutes before this forum post, on 10 September 2024.
Now that it's finished, I don't have a software shop any more. The icon is still there, but it opens (ONLY IN THE DOCK, btw) and then closes immediately.
Which kinda sucks, since there are some software installations I am interested in (such as, but not limited to, two Libre Office modules that do not come standard with the Zorin 17 installation).
If you wouldn't mind trying, could you try running gnome-software through the terminal:
gnome-software
And give us the output that comes out when you try to run that?
Allow me some Questions:
uname -rAfter receiving a few similar reports, we've been researching this issue and have found that it was caused by the newest update to the NVIDIA 550 drivers. As this package was published in the Ubuntu repositories, we have gotten in touch with the Ubuntu team to try and resolve it from upstream.
In the meantime, you can apply one of the following two workarounds to resolve this issue on your system:
Downgrade to the previous NVIDIA 535 drivers using the Additional Drivers utility: Activate NVIDIA Graphics Card - Zorin Help
Alternatively, you should be able to open the Terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and enter these 2 commands:
sudo apt remove nvidia* libnvidia*
sudo apt install --install-recommends nvidia-driver-535
Afterwards, restart your computer to apply the changes.
Switch to the Xorg display server by following these steps:
The uninstall went without a hiccup, but then...
[username@usernameaccount]:~$ sudo apt install --install-recommends nvidia-driver-535 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done Reading state information... Done E: Unable to locate package nvidia-driver-535
My computer has a Quadro T2000. It worked well until the update.
Try it with sudo apt install nvidia-driver-535
Same response
Hmm ... Could You make a sudo apt update to check the Sources?
I'm now idling at this point, not sure whether to Y or N
I've re-done my previous response, with each line now clearly separated:

Do you want to accept these changes and continue updating from this repository? [y/N]
It looks like you have an installed Nvidia Driver. You could check with the following commands if it is really installes:
apt list nvidia-driver-510 -a
or
nvidia-smi
The Package List Thing ... That is a good Question. Okay, let's try something to double-check: Go to Software & Updates and there to the ''Zorin Software'' Tab. Look if the Sources are set to ''Main Server''. If not change it to ''Main Server'' and type again a sudo apt update in the Terminal.
Thank you. I have to do this from my windoze dual boot setup, because for some reason, my WiFi i not visible to Zorin 17 anymore. Not hidden network or so, the wifi unit inside the computer is not picked up. There is no wifi option in the system menu.
So now first to get that back. Can I do a system repair with the ZOS17 installer?
Some background: When I went into Zorin earlier today, my desktop was changed from my standard Windows-style setup (for familiarity) to a Mac OS-style setup. I re-adjusted everything and switched off. When I booted now, the WiFi was missing.
It also seems like ClamAV might be compromised, if this was (might be) some L337 ph34r50m3 script kiddie. How do I update the AV, or does it update with the sudo apt update command (that I run at least once every time I startup)?
And can my ESET on Windoze be installed n ZOS17?
As far as I remember ESET has had in the Past a Scanner for Linux but this isn't maintained anymore. They still have some Security Stuff for Linux but this is more for Companie's if I understand that right. What I saw a while ago is that Kaspersky has a Scanner Tool for Linux. But if it is good to use that ... but that is up to You.
Do You have installed ClamAV over the Terminal? If Yes, it will be updated over the System Updates. When you should have downloaded it from the ClamAV Website, you have to do it manually.
Or do you mean the Anti-Virus Data Base Updates? If yes, that should run automatically, too with the ClamAV freshclam Package. You can check that with the Terminal command sudo systemctl status clamav-freshclam.servce
What can be a helpful Addition, too are the Rootkit Scanners rkhunter and chkrootkit. With that you can scan the System for Rootkits.
But on Windows it works, correct? Wifi ... well, it could be a Driver Thing. did you take a Look in the Additional Drivers Tab if there is a Driver offered. Sure, without Internet connection that wouldn't go. But can You connect Your Machine with a Cable?
Another Thing: do you have Fast Boot in Windows deactivated?
As far as I know not. there is only a Tool for Boot Repair. but what You could try is with the Terminal Command sudo apt --fix-broken install
Thank you. I'm now working from my ZOS again, somehow the wifi is back on when I started up now.
