What finally worked for me – after two weeks of struggling – was enabling Canonical Partners and getting their flash update as per these instructions: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2339506 Incidentally, should’ve mentioned that I’m running Zorin 12 which uses an Ubuntu 16 core, I believe.
