I'm using firefox and trying to download gaomon pd1161 drivers for linux. tried to download both the .deb and the .tar.xz files but both have the download speed at 0 bytes/second and than it says "download failed". its definitely not something blocking downloads from browser because I tried downloading other programs from firefox and it worked, I don't know what's wrong with gaomon tablet drivers specifically
Maybe a problem of the website, firewall or vpn? I tried it with my phone because I'm not at the computer at the moment and both downloads worked.
I think have my firewall turned off and I don't have a vpn yet, if the website is the problem, how do I fix it? also I'd check firewall, but I don't know how. I did contact gaomon via service support email though, maybe they'll help
Can you try it with your phone and then transfer the file to your computer, e.g. send it?
ooh, that's a good idea, I'll try it. thanks for the help!! can you tell me how to install programs after I download them though? it never seems to work via software for me for some reasons, and if I just double click the deb file it just turns into a folder that I don't know how to use
It should actually work with a double-click, which will then open the Software Center. But that is only possible with .deb packages, not with tarballs.
Here are some methods you can use for .deb files:
It is important that the .deb files are suitable for the ubuntu version (ubuntu 24.04 for Zorin 18).
Gdebi is a program that helps to install .deb files because it also installs the dependencies automatically if dependencies are required.
Tarballs are a bit more difficult to install. First you need to unzip them. Then read the "readme" file how to install them. Sometimes they contain a installation script.
