Hi I was using UB500 tp link adapter and now after recently transferring to Linux - Zorin OS(Ubuntu based) , the device was not working due to driver issues , so I surfed through the net and tried various methods and now a few articles are saying the bluetooth adapters would work right out of the box if having kernel 5.16. So zorin has 5.15 as default so I upgraded it to 5.16 through ubuntu mainframe-y. But now a problem occured where the dongle is been recognised by the settings but when I turn on it basically doesnt turn on or glitches. See the video clip here: https://imgur.com/XVcWAit
Have any ideas?
Methods tried like:
^(here in this guide its told that with 5.16 it works right out of the box)
^Here tried installing pipewire and stuffs for ub400, yet I tried the same for ub 500.
They saying that they installed different kernel firmware, so I guess it's the same me installing 5.16 kernel and its modules via Ubuntu mainframe to zorin os but as said my one detects the Dongle and in Bluetoothncl it shows active with no available controllers
After getting help from a person in unofficial zorin discord server ,
It seems the rtl8761bu_fw.bin was not there.
It might not be the same for everyone , here i am gonna go through steps me and the discord person went.
