Hi, bynd.
Could you go to your terminal (ctrl+alt+t) and then input sudo lshw -c network and paste the results here?
Thank you for your replay
I’m using a wifi usb to connect to internet
I did sudo lshw -c network I get

Also, please try, in terminal, sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade
the wifi adapter is :
Ralink RT5370 wireless usb wifi adapter stick for Raspberry PI, Mag250/254/420/322
the sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade return

Thanks.
Please go to to: https://www.mediatek.com/products/broadbandWifi/rt5370 and download the linux driver (little penguin icon, 3rd one).
Next, use the instructions under “Ralink driver” posted at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Tenda_W311M (ignore step #1)
Once you’re done, reboot and see if it works.
when I use make I get error

sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/95-RT5370.rules
This will open a new document in the terminal. Into that, paste in
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="148f", ATTR{idProduct}=="5370", RUN="/etc/RT5370.sh"
Hit ctrl+x to exit, then hit 'y' to 'yes' at the prompt, hit enter ensuring that you are saving the file as '95-RT5370.rules'.
Just as above, we are creating a new document file:
sudo nano /etc/RT5370.sh
Paste in and exit and save as 'RT5370.sh' just as you did above
#!/bin/sh
modprobe rt2800usb
echo 148F 5370 > /sys/bus/usb/drivers/rt2800usb/new_id
Change the permissions of the file
sudo chmod +x /etc/RT5370.sh
Now to build:
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/xiangzhai/rt5370.git
cd rt5370/
make
sudo make install
sudo echo rt5370sta >> /etc/modules
Once complete, unplug the USB wifi device and reboot the computer. Plug in the USB wifi device and please report back the results.
Thank you very much for your time and explanation
but still the same problem. I fallowed exactly you explanation step by step
when I do make I get errors and also sudo make install
I was afraid of that. Can you please show the errors? Are they the same as above?
EDIT:
Assuming same errors, please try the following (Check that your Software & Updates app source is set to Main Server)- then repeat the above process to install the wifi USB device
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-5.4.0-48-generic
sudo apt-get install flex
Try installing the wifi USB again but this time use
make clean
make
sudo make install

Well... try
sudo mount -o remount,exec /tmp
make
reurn
mount: /tmp: mount point not mounted or bad option.
Ok, can you run
sudo nano /etc/fstab
and check if you see "noexec" in the file? IF you do, please remove it. Exit and save the file. Then log out, log in and try your installation again.
first of all I can't thank you enough for your help I really do appreciate it thank you very much
I didn't find noexec this is all what i get
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# Use 'blkid' to print the universally unique identifier for a
# device; this may be used with UUID= as a more robust way to name devices
# that works even if disks are added and removed. See fstab(5).
#

UUID=7d62b4f5-8fde-4c21-bef8-64880acea622 / ext4 errors=remount-ro 0 1
/swapfile none swap sw 0 0
You can double check with
cat /etc/fstab
If you see noexec
As a workaround maybe try changing the permissions of the makefile itself
chmod 777 -R /home/lotfi/rt5370/os/linux/Makefile
no noexec exist
lotfi@Lenovo:~/rt5370$ cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

I get the same

make: *** [LINUX] Error 2I wonder if you are running on a user account instead of as the admin account on your copy of Zorin. We seem to be getting cut off at each step.
I suspect that the reason the WiFi stopped working when the kernel upgraded is that the Wifi USB device had to be configured. This means that it must be reconfigured (or reinstalled) each and every time the kernel upgrades.
Normally, this is not difficult… After the kernel upgrade, the user just runs the ‘make’ and ‘sudo make install’ from the makefile directory and all is well again.
Perhaps we should step back and examine why you needed to use the USB wifi device in the first place and try to figure out where to go from there.
I just buy the WiFi adapter
Well my computer was on windows so I want to start working on Linux so I choose Zorin as Linux, my computer work fine on kernel 5.3 but ask me to update Zorin OS I checked yes and now if i’m on 5.3 it work fine but if I work with 5.4 the WiFi device not work, I have to every time when I start my computer press Esc key to choose advanced to choose 5.3 otherwise will go to 5.4 directly so i did buy a WiFi adapter to connect to internet if i’m on 5.4 like now
