Bluetooth and wifi connection problems

[Sveen]

I just recently installed Linux mint lmde 6 and am also a new Linux user. My PC doesn't have Bluetooth and wifi so I purchased Bluetooth and wifi adaptors but I can't seem to get them working. Pls help I worked fine on windows

Check mokutil --sb as Secure Boot will need to be disabled, then in terminal

Code: Select all

sudo apt install git dkms
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kelebek333/kablosuz
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install rtl8192fu-dkms

If the Bluetooth doesn't work return it as those are problematic

when i checked mokutil --sb in the terminal it said EFI variables are not supported on this system
