Hi everyone, I'm new to Zorin OS. I just completed the installation of Zorin OS 18 Core. Almost everything went well, the only missing part is Bluetooth, which won't activate.
I think it's a problem with my NB card, which had proprietary ASUS drivers under Windows OS. Has anyone had this problem with other OS distributions? I found a solution under Ubuntu, but I don't remember how. Any suggestions/help would be appreciated.
P.S. I had no problems with Wi-Fi, nor with Ethernet.
Welcome to the Forum!
- Are Secure Boot and Fast Boot in BIOS disabled?
- If Windows is still installed: Is Fast Start-Up in Windows disabled?
- Does Your System run in Wayland or X11? You can check that with the Terminal Cammand
echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE - Did You take a Look in the ''Additional Drivers'' Tab in Software & Updates if there is a Driver offered?
- Is a Bluetooth Option in the Settings or is it missing?
- Could You post the Output of the Commands
sudo lshw -C networkandrfkill listplease?
I solved it by following this link: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1529473/bluetooth-problems-with-broadcom-bcm43142a0 where, as per the answer, I downloaded and installed the recommended driver and rebooted.
