bluetooth

[réjean]

or reinstall Ubuntu?

[securitybreach]

That would be a good start.

[securitybreach]

Well first run it as a live environment to make sure it works with your hardware. If so, it would be easier to reinstall as it may be more of a pain to revert.

[réjean]

I uninstalled bluez which also uninstalled-gnome bluetooth and pulseaudio something but still the same

 

[securitybreach]

Run ubuntu as a live environment. If bluetooth works, reinstall.

[securitybreach]

As that removed your audio and the default bluetooth.

[réjean]

I am rebooting in live usb I turned the headset on, the blue light is flashing and still no progress

[securitybreach]

Forget the headset, make sure the bluetooth is functional on the computer first.

[securitybreach]

If the toggle turns on, then you can get the headset connected.

[réjean]

btw the headset us a Sony wh-ch510

[réjean]

I tried another mouse but nothing can move that toggle button.

Then the built in bluetooth is not supported out of the box, what is the output from:

 

sudo lsusb

[réjean]

[securitybreach]

Then

 

sudo lspci

Are you sure that your computer has bluetooth? Most desktops do not come with bluetooth.

[réjean]

maybe they don't

[securitybreach]

Well I do not see a bluetooth device listed.

[securitybreach]

Now you can get a usb bluetooth dongle for a couple of bucks. I thought that you a bluetooth device.

[réjean]

does it mean that I have a useless headet (because I cannot return it.

 

 

[securitybreach]

Without a bluetooth dongle, yes. Here is one for 10 bucks that supports linux https://smile.amazon.com/TP-Link-Bluetooth-Receiver-Controllers-UB400/dp/B07V1SZCY6/

[réjean]

Thanks for your help. I'll see if I can find one somewhere else because we refuse to purchase from Amazon. 

Staples has some for about $25 C

Ok, cool. Personally I love amazon and order everything from there.

[réjean]

One last question, if I may. How does one know if an adaptor will work for Linux or not?

[securitybreach]

Well you could google it, that is how I always do verify compatibility. Most will work on linux nowdays though.

[réjean]

Ok! Because I just saw that the one you suggested said;

【Plug & play or free driver】 – plug and play for Win 8, Win 8. 1, and win 10. Supports Win7/XP (driver required for Win7/XP and could be downloaded from website free of charge). it is not compatible with Mac, Linux, TV

That is wrong. Just search the reviews for linux:

 

Plugged this into my PC running Linux (kernel 5.4.3) and it automatically detected it without needing to install any drivers or reboot.

[securitybreach]

Plus I have one.

[réjean]

Ok! I was just asking. Hope I didn't offend you.

Not at all. It takes more than that
