Is there a package for drivers that ZorinOS uses?

337harvey · 23 December 2021 09:34

You might be able to "downgrade" your firmware version for that laptop to get everything working (done some of it may have met EOL... but this could be problematic. Are there specific devices that aren't working that you would like to get working?

Surya0705 · 23 December 2021 09:37

As far as I know, everything is working in ZorinOS 16 Lite on my Laptop...
Thanks for your advice...

But yeah Bluetooth doesn't work in any other Linux Distributions which I have tried except ZorinOS Lite and Linux Mint....

Write lspci and lsusb in terminal and post the outputs here. We are going to try to make it to work

ThDevloper · 27 December 2021 04:48

your desktop is looking awesome!!

you are sending result of zorin os lite.
Surya0705, You need to send the lspci result of the distribution which has this problem.

Surya0705 · 27 December 2021 11:43

Well I just have ZorinOS and Windows10 Dual-Booted on my Laptop...But I can Live Boot in any Distribution. So let me just share the output from Ubuntu...I hope the Results don't make much difference be it Live Environment or Installed...
The Result goes like:

And here's the Screenshot also Regarding the same:

As for the problem, Bluetooth doesn't work in Ubuntu(or even other Distributions. It just worked in 1 or 2 out of all the distributions I tested).

And for the Compliment regarding my ZorinOS-Lite Desktop... Thanks a Lot @ThDevloper

ThDevloper · 27 December 2021 12:10

Sorry for delay. sorry i forgot to mention another command in the above reply. you have to send also the result of

lsusb
and
lspci | grep Network
and
lshw -class network

in Ubuntu

ThDevloper · 27 December 2021 13:16

i just actually remembered that when i was a beginner in Linux i have also faced this Bluetooth problem and now i remembered how i solved that problem that time.(fact about me- actually now also i am a beginner )

that time i have used the below commands
step 1 Run sudo rmmod btusb in terminal
step 2 Run sudo modprobe btusb in terminal

try to run the above commands in terminal and see if the problem solved in Ubuntu. if still not solved then give the result of above commands and i will manually try to solve this problem.

Surya0705 · 27 December 2021 13:29

Here's the output for all those commands in Ubuntu.

And here is Screenshot regarding the Same:

What a coincidence...You remembered something and even I remembered something...
When I first Installed ZorinOS-Lite, there was a Popup which told to install additional drivers. Although Bluetooth worked out of the Box, I still installed the driver which was listed. I thought, why not try same thing in Ubuntu...
Opened that same application and after installing the following driver:

It worked...
So all in all, I think the Problem is now solved...

ThDevloper · 27 December 2021 13:33

yes, it solved.

swarfendor437 · 27 December 2021 21:32

The problem with current releases of GNU/Linux is that they are geared to new hardware. The ethos of GNU/Linux had used to be "Breathing new life into old computers". You should really give Antix or MXLInux a try as they only uses 256 Mb RAM and is quick on older machines. I installed MX Linux on the machine my good lady uses which dates back to 2006 - An Athlon 64 with max of 2 Gb RAM and a 256 Mb AGP EVGA fanless Graphics Card!

Surya0705 · 28 December 2021 13:41

Sure, I was thinking about trying MX Linux for a while now and will definitely look over to your suggestion
