Fresh Zorin 18 install on ASUS B850M WiFi / Ryzen 7 7800X3D no bluetooth

Hardware Support
1

After installing a Zorin 18 on a new PC it was not possible to have the bluetooth working (onboard bluetooth or dongle)

I tried several solutions but this one worked :

sudo apt update && sudo apt install linux-firmware blueman bluez
sudo modprobe -r btusb && sudo modprobe btusb
sudo systemctl restart bluetooth

It is a pretty new Mainboard. Maybe a newer Kernel with better Hardware Support could help:

Other Options:

Could You post the Output of the Terminal Commands sudo lshw -C network and rfkill list please? Did You take a Look at the ''Addtional Drivers'' Tab in Software & Updates if there is a Driver offered?

From that, are you therefore saying your bluetooth problems are solved? (or not?)

in fact not, additional tests showed that the bluetooth dongle is now working but not the onboard bluetooth.

i currently don't have access to the PC but i can post here additional logs

best,
Chris

Have you tried installing the appropriate Bluetooth version packages via Synaptic Package Manager?

Yes i did. After a lot of trial and error i read that it could be because of SecureBoot. I think I will stay with the USB Bluetooth dongle for now and hope that the driver will improve in the futur for this mainstream motherboard.
