Porteus

Posted: **05 Sep 2022, 22:00**

Hello! Installed Porteus 5.0 on ASUSTeK ZenBook UX425EA. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and sound did not work. I put the file "iwlwifi-Usa 0-hr-b0-71.code" in the folder "/lib/firmware/" (from the folder "/lib/firmware/" previously installed Linux Mint). WiFi is working. Bluetooth and sound are not connected by this method (although copy the entire folder "/lib/firmware/" - it does not work). What do I need to do to make Bluetooth and sound work?

I'm having the same problem on an Acer Aspire 5. Copied driver for wifi works but I can't get Bluetooth or sound to work. I also copied my entire /lib/firmware folder (from MX Linux) and none of those drivers worked for Bluetooth or sound.

hi all, better to post all spec of your devices,so we can see what driver or firmware you need to work with......
if you have the inxi software, is on the slackware 15 repository in terminal inxi -b or inxi -F and post it here

hi KingJames when you start getmod you need to upgrade the database with this sudo getmod -u and after you can start the search of your module and to make a package sudo getmod -m name of the module:

Code: Select all

  guest@porteus:~$ sudo getmod -m inxi

Thanks beny! I finally figured it out. I actually got inxi installed with getmod -m but was apparently still missing a dependency. However, I activated the devel module and it had the dependency in it.

Here is the output of inxi -F:

KingJames, seems for sound need to convert and activate sof-2.2-x86_64-1gv.txz package.

Sound Open Firmware is an open source audio DSP firmware and SDK that
provides audio firmware infrastructure and development tools for
developers who are interested in audio or signal processing on modern
DSPs.

hi KingJames for the bluetooth you have to start the daemon in /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth start, like root and try to use blueman or in terminal bluetothctl if you want to use terminal is better open another one and type bluetoothctl --help there are a lot of command that you can use.

Thank you both for your help, but neither solution seems to have worked.

I converted and activated the suggested sound firmware module, but nothing changed, so I copied it to my porteus/modules folder on my drive and restarted. No change. No devices are listed as output for sound, except for the dummy output.

I may be doing something wrong, but I can't get any bluetooth commands to work. Here is a sample of the commands I tried.

I don't even know how permission can be denied as root.

Every time I used <ctrl>c to escape a command, I waited at least 30 seconds. Even when I run bluetoothctl --help I have to use <ctrl>c to escape.

bash-5.2# '/etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth' start
bash: /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth: Permesso negato "Permission denied"
bash-5.2# sh '/etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth' start
Starting Bluetooth services: bluetoothd hciconfig sdptool hciattach
when you run a script as root or guest the sh is mandatory so try to start deamon again, for the sound i have to dig a bit with the model of your notebook ok try this link: http://distro.ibiblio.org/zenwalk/x86_6 ... 210103.txz remove the other one and make a xzm package can you report here if work or not
bluetoothctl work after you have started the bluetooth daemon.

Okay, so yeah I didn't know about sh, thanks. That got the bluetooth services working, but now when I try to do anything with bluetoothctl I get an error "No default controller available." Also no dice with graphical interface.
