Zorin os 16.3 lite not showing wireless internet and icon, just showing Ethernet

You can disable TPM in your BIOS Settings.
TPM is used by Windows OS. It can interfere with other operating systems.

HP likes to hide the TPM device, even in BIOS. I am not sure for your make and model, but you may need to unhide it int he BIOS > Security tab. It will be listed as "Embedded Security Device".
Then, under Security > TPM - set to disabled.

If you are not seeing these in your BIOS Settings, you may need to search the HP site with your make and model for detailed instructions.

Are you referring to this post in this thread?:

Everything there looks fine. You do not need to fill in all fields. Can you right click on your panel (taskbar) and under Panel slide over to Panel Preferences. Move to the Items tab. Click Add. Select Status Notifier Plugin and add it to the panel. If you want to keep it, you can position it where you want on the panel with the up and down arrow icons on the right side. Now, you should see a Network Manager Icon on the panel. Left click that Network icon and look for your WiFi Listed unde…

The thread title says Zorin 16.3 Lite, your profile lists Zorin OS Pro.

I’ll link it wait

[Sycxt]

I’ll change that but here Wifi Icon is not showing on Zorin LITE 16

It’s lite now

[Aravisian]

There are two available plugins on Zorin 16 Lite;
Status Notifier Plugin and Status Tray Plugin.

I think in that post, I was thinking of the Status Indicator Plugin
https://docs.xfce.org/panel-plugins/xfce4-indicator-plugin/start

When I meant Status Notifier Plugin.

Oh ok

Gotcha..

So, I edited my post with the commands above - each command as a whole are in quotations. You can copy / paste if that's easier but grep is used in searching for patterns and requires a little more. Like, "sudo dmesg | grep -i wifi" <-- That's one whole command, which searches the dmesg output for anything related to 'wifi' also using grep -i wifi to show only output messages from dmesg containing "wifi". The -i flag shows strings 'ignoring' case, so capitol or lower-case letters, either one.

Give those commands another shot, should have more information spit out.. Like:

Also was wondering about the TPM status as well, Secure Boot will play with that for sure. But, try the commands again
