Zorin OS 18 - All my problems

[ByDost]

I installed Zorin OS. My graphics card is a 4090, which is Nvidia. Since it's Nvidia, I tried selecting the Nvidia option for the installation, but the installation got stuck. So I had to do a standard installation.

With the standard setup, I encountered ping=time errors and a never-ending countdown timer in the console. I had to skip it by clicking "Skip".

I've now installed the graphics card, but the DPI settings are showing as 100%. I'm using a 4K monitor, and the text is so small that I'm having difficulty working or reading.

When I use the "Fractional Scaling" option, the right-click menu on the desktop starts to look corrupted.

I will continue to add subsequent errors here.

I've also started experiencing very long waiting times for updates in the Stores section.

NVidia is not showing up in the output section of the OBS screen.

You could click on 200%. Or is this too much for Your?

Did You switched to X11? If not, go to the Login Screen and click on Your Profile so that the Password Field appears. When it is appeared, You should see in the bottom right Corner a Gear Icon. Click on it and choose the Option ''Zorin Desktop on Xorg'' and then log in.

Are Secure Boot and Fast Boot in BIOS diabled? If Windows is still installed: Is Fast Start-Up in Windows disabled?

This is too much. It's like 1080p resolution. Windows automatically set it to 150% during installation. This provided great image quality and allowed me to work comfortably on a large screen.

I didn't quite understand, but I'll try.

Yes. Fast startup and security settings are disabled. I configured these by reviewing the documentation and system requirements.

can you use that?

then it should have the scaling you are looking for

when i turn that on i can use 150%

Yes, when I activated this, the menu would malfunction when I right-clicked on the desktop.

It was fixed with this. The OBS, screen, and DPI issues are now completely resolved. Thank you for that as well.

Now I will continue exploring. While I explore, I have a few questions for you expert users.

1. I have to use Insta360 Studio. I can only edit my motovlog videos with it.
2. The microphone I use for my broadcasts is a Rode XDM-100, and I need to add an OBS filter to it. Can I use it like I do in Windows?

[Ponce-De-Leon]

@ByDost

I didn't quite understand, but I'll try.

X11/Xorg and Wayland are so called Display Protocols. To make it short: Wayland is a more modern Standard but depending on the Implementation not so well. X11/Xorg is an older Standard but more reliable. So, switching between booth like explained can help to solve Issue. that is the Reason why I wrote it.

@ByDost

I have to use Insta360 Studio. I can only edit my motovlog videos with it.

I looked and it seems that there are only Versions for Windows and MAC. You could try it with the Zorin Windows App Support to run the Windows Version. But there is no Guarantee that it will work.

When the Seting is in OBS and the Linux Version of OBE offer it, too it should work. Or is the Filter a seperate Program?

Right now I'm waiting like this for everything. It's not installing any apps.

The software I normally use is THIS: UNIFY | Virtual Mixing Software for Streaming and Content Creation| RØDE X (NL)

I can also use the default filters from OBS settings if possible. But I'm skeptical about the filter quality.

Well, you could simply test this Way and look what You get.

@ByDost

That seems to be the same like with Your Insta360 Studio: There are only Versions for Windows and MAC.

@ByDost

We could try to install it via Terminal. When there is an Issue, we get an Output and can react. To install it via Terminal use the Command:

sudo apt install zorin-windows-app-support

The problem is fixed. If I can actually run Insta360, I'll completely uninstall Windows
The program closes immediately upon opening. I can't do anything with it. I tried it with Wine 11.0. I installed the modules and allfont, but the result is still the same.

There is another fairly recent Windows tool called winboat.
See this: Winboat install - #24 by Nourpon

I have not tried it myself, but others may comment if it works or not.

This is better for Cachyos. I haven't been able to get it to work yet. I kept getting errors creating the group. That's why I started this thread.

• vcrun2022
• vcrun2019
• dxvk
• VKD3D
  Many users running Insta360 Studio on Linux achieve better results with a combination of Bottles Soda Runtime, DXVK, and Visual C Runtime. If needed, we can go through this installation together step-by-step.

I'm trying this right now. I hope it works.

[ByDost]

I think we've solved this problem too.
I think I'll succeed. I'll get rid of Windows soon.

[ByDost]

The program won't open because the graphics card installation isn't complete in this section. Can someone help me with this?

My System;

• Z790 AERO G
• NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090
• 96GB RAM
• 2TB SSD M2

Do You have installed the Nvidia Drivers? If not, there would be 2 Options to do it:

1. Go to the ''Additional Drivers'' Tab in Software & Updates and look there for the Driver.
2. Install the Driver via Terminal with the Command sudo apt install nvidia-driver-610 nvidia-dkms-610

610 is the current One. If You want use a different Version, simply replace the 610 with the Driver Version Number, You want use.
