ASUS USB-BT500 Bluetooth 5.0 USB-Adapter

I wanted to use a usb bluetooth adapter that could find a bluetooth keyboard that i have.

Ok - it was working partially before, but did not see a device - but now is not working at all on any device?

No it doesnt work at all now. I removed the usb bluetooth device and restarted to see if it started again.

You can try removing the recently installed driver by cd'ing into that same directory and running:

sudo make remove INTERFACE=usb

I wanted to connect this keyboard using bluetooth Logitech K810. Maybe its not compatible at all.

I just get "COEX_v0202$ sudo make remove INTERFACE=usb
make: *** No rule to make target 'remove'. Stop.". Do you use Teamviewer?

This can happen if the driver developer does not include a Make parameter for removal. I was afraid that may happen.

Let me download and look over the file - and I can help walk you through a removal.

Then we can examine the keyboard.

Ok thank you for all help. Totally new to this.

You should be able to:

sudo rm /lib/firmware/rtlbt/rtkbt

Check if you have a /lib/firmware/rtkbt. IF you do, remove that, too.
In terminal, run:

sudo apt install --reinstall blueman bluez-utils bluez bluetooth

sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth start

Launch Blueman from the app menu, and try pairing the Bluetooth keyboard.

COEX_v0202$ sudo rm /lib/firmware/rtlbt/rtkbt
rm: cannot remove '/lib/firmware/rtlbt/rtkbt': No such file or directory

Can you please open a File Manager.
Let's see... you are on Pro - so that is Nautilus...

sudo -i

nautilus

Other Locations from the left pane, then "computer" then lib > firmware > rtlbt

Look in that folder and see if you find any file or directory named "rtkbt"

No i dont have any directory named "rtkbt" there.

Maybe that driver did not fully install... ::expressionless:
Can you follow the next steps outlined above and relay the results?

You mean these commands? >

sudo apt install --reinstall blueman bluez-utils bluez bluetooth

sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth start

Please ask your system administrator to enable user sharing.

This is only because the plugin looks for your Bookmarks from the Home Directory, but you just launched Nautilus as the Root Directory.
It can be ignored.

Ok, easiest to reinstall or?

I do not understand the question...

If its not possible to repair/fix maybe its easier to reinstall Zorin again?

Oh, I see. Yes, that is an option and if you are comfortable with that option, you can do so at any time.
