Now booting Zorin says /boot/vmlinuz-5.14.8-051408-generic has invalid signature. you need to load the kernel first.

#11

Welp. What I read was wrong.

Please see here:

And you can see you hit that Same Bug:

I do believe that trying to get any kernel higher than 5.11 on your system is Currently Hopeless.

I am sorry to say, you may need to run Ubuntu 21.04 or later, or a distro based on 21.04 or later.

#12

That's unfortunate. I do prefer Zorin over the original Ubuntu haha. Will Zorin support the latest kernels any time soon?

It's hard to say. Only @azorin or @zorink can comment on that.

There are options for installing the higher kernel... It needs to be re-compiled to do so. I might go ahead and make one and upload it to Launchpad for Zorin OS users...

Thank you so much! Will this be done recently? I'm willing to try out the recompiled kernels but I do need a functioning linux distro installed recently.

I would honestly prefer to take a couple days to check into it and test it.

No worries. Thanks for all the helps today. Can we keep this thread open for any future updates? I only need it by the end of next week so I can wait for some progress :slight_smile:

In this case, I will mark it as "not urgent." :stuck_out_tongue:

A quick update @maxpluez , I have compiled a corrected 5.14.8 kernel package. If you still would like to have it, please let me know.

Try Pop! OS

#20

Pop! OS 21.04 cannot install the 5.14.8 kernel. Got the same issue with libc6. However out of the box pop comes with 5.13

#21

Maybe we can try upgrading to 5.13?

#22

Any kernel above 5.12 will have the same result.

#23

Zorin OS 16 is currently setup and compatible with kernel version 5.11.36, this is the latest most reliable version. I do not recommend upgrading the kernel to a later version, the chances of breaking your OS are 85%.

Zorin updates the kernel once they have gone through the new one and made it compatible. But the kernel developers themselves, have shown themselves to be extremely incompetent as of late, which is why you should never just jump to the latest one.

#24

Any possibility to have and test it?
I am in the same position, got no wifi from same mediatek wlan card out of the box on kernel 5.11.38 but temporarily installed a 5.13.19 to get wifi working but as everyone mentioned libgcc.2.33 doesn't work which means no VirtualBox support.
