Zorin 15.3 Lite 32 Bit

[Michael Rosiles]

HelloI have a sound problem in my zorin 16.2 for 2 days, I reinstalled, it does not work, I connected the jack of my screen with my telephone, the sound comes out of my screen without problem, I also changed the jack, it does not work. I changed the box, may be the problem in the jack of the central unit, it does not work. and another interesting information is that when I go to start -> settings -> sound I can see that the sound is detected from my computer but it never comes out, other information the microphone works very well, the others can hear me but I can't, I don't hear anything, the output has a problem. do you guys have any ideas? and thank you and i am new user on zorin.

You may want to run alsa mixer in the terminal alsamixer or alsa-mixer (i forget if there is a hyphen in it or not). Make sure none of the channels have an m under them. If so, select the channel and press +.

SMALL NOTE: I'm assuming that you plugged your jack correctly (audio jack plug to audio jack port, either microphone or speaker) otherwise we'd be doing no progress, I did such mistake once when I plugged my headphones to a wrong TV port but realized the mistake in a glance.

I reinstalled zorin, not working

i changed that jack, not working

i changed the computer block, a new jack for, not working

my screen have the sound, i can here the sound when i use the same jack with my phone, so the screen audio its good,

another information, when i go to start -> settings -> sound, i can see that the zorin recognize the sound but he cant out put that,

and my microphone he works normally, my friends here me talking but i cant here them. Just an output sound not working.

Can you launch pavucontrol either from the alt+F2 launcher or terminal (If needed you can install it with sudo apt install pavucontrol) and check your Output Devices tab, then the drop down menus for output?

Hello! i dual-booted Zorin OS with Windows 10 a few months back and so far its been great, but there is a issue with the time. Whenever i go into zorin os and log in the time is 2 hours wrong, so if its 14:00 it would say 12:00. In zorin os it would automatically correct it self but in windows i have to go into settings and manually sync the time. Im just wondering why its happening and if its fixable?

Yes. I have been doing that. Windows 1 hour incorrect. Zorin is always correct. Time-zone and DST set correct on both OS.

I just change Windows network time source which corrects the error (until next boot).

run this command in the terminal timedatectl set-local-rtc 1 --adjust-system-clock

then boot into windows (time wont be correct this time) then disable and re-enable the set time automatically option in the settings

and ur done!

Dualboot: Work with Linux and Windows in parallel: Installation Note Back up all important data, e.g. the complete /home directory. If a recovery is necessary later, individual files can be copied, but everything is backed up. 1. Start the Windows...

So far I haven't seen any way to change this so I was going to install Thunar file manager but wondered if this would be OK with my current distro. I haven't been able to find out the name of the default file manager for Zorin OS 11.

Thanks for reply. The strange thing is there is no menus along the top. Only the option to change from icon view to list view and a hamburger menu with new tab, new folder, new document, open in terminal. I have checked everywhere but there is no sign of the usual Help About.

I wondered if there was a way to find out the file manager using the terminal. I'm quite new to linux but if I know what to enter, I can run a few commands to try to find out the default file manager that comes with Zorin.

Huh. Are you using GNOME 3 for the desktop environment? You can try holding the Alt key and pressing the h key. That may or may not work. I am not familiar with oddball DEs, lol. I just had a look at the website for Zorin OS and was able to discern what DE it uses. It almost put me in mind of a Microsoft OS . Have you tried asking how to install and integrate Thunar (assuming that's possible) in their support forum?

Thanks for reply, there is nothing when open file manager then try holding the Alt key and pressing the h key. every other distro I try this on it opens an option to click on either Contents or About. So looks like it's been disabled like the menu along the top.

Thanks for the advice. I don't know enough about linux to install new file manager, as I understand the file manager in zorin is supposed to be baked into the desktop. I'm a bit nervous in case I create a conflict.

But I did find out what the default file manager is for Zorin OS11. I opened a terminal and typed nautilus and a new file manger window popped up. So Nautilus it is. Before I go ahead and install Thunar, do you know if there is any history of conflict between the two?

Unity... That seems like Ubuntu's Unity / GNOME3 to me. I know nothing about it (other than my early impressions were almost universally negative - a first for me in relation to almost any experience, lol), but others will have more - or at least some - experience with it and, presumably, something positive/helpful to say. Therefore, I will back out of this discussion now in hopes that those others will step forward and/or make suggestions about where to find the knowledge you seek. I wish you luck.

Just do it already--if it conflicts, which I seriously doubt, take it back out. IMHO you're making a mountain out of a molehill.

A Google search might give you more information, if you really need it, or follow MDM's suggestion of asking on the Zorin forum.

Like MDM, I will exit from this thread, having nothing further to contribute. Good luck.

Don't install a second full-blown file manager

5.1. Related to the "don't mix desktop environments" issue: it's not advisable to install a full-blown second file manager. It's best to stick to the file manager that comes by default with your desktop environment.

The reason is, that full-blown file managers are deeply interwoven with the desktop environment for which they were designed. That means that they can cause problems after installation in a "foreign" desktop environment: they simply engrain themselves too deeply in that "foreign" desktop and tend to clash sometimes with its primary file manager.

Exceptions are stand-alone simple file managers like GNOME Commander and Midnight Commander. They don't interweave themselves with the desktop environment at all, and only do their primary limited task: basic file management.

One way to find out what your File Manager is is to open up a terminal and run the program top. This will give you a real-time view of what programs are currently running, with the most active ones (in terms of cpu and RAM usage) at the top of the list. Move the terminal to someplace that won't be covered up, open up your file manager and see what new program appears in the terminal. Once you've found out what you need, you can either stop top with ^C or simply close the terminal, which will kill the program. Or, if you're uncomfortable with that, you can always go to the Zorin forum at =3 and ask there.

Thunar doesn't conflict with any DE it doesn't bring xfce4 session files.

Just don't install caja because they'll bring mate desktop session file & screw gnome3 desktop

Nemo as well they'll bring cinnamon desktop files with you.
