Linux/Mac/Windows/Other OS Discussion

What's the brand and model of your headset? And of the BT receiver in your PC? Post the output of "lspci" and "lsusb". If I can't help you then go over to the Ubuntu forums and I'm sure someone there can. I don't recommend saying anything like "**** Linux" though...I often see people who get pissed about a problem their having so they say how horrible Linux is and when the people who know what the problem is and how to fix it come along they pretty much say that they don't want him to be a member of the Linux community, so they don't give him the solution...

Motorola HT820

And my bluetooth headset is this

Yikes! It's got a Broadcom chipset. Broadcom is rather notorious for refusing to work with open source developers, and also refusing to release their own drivers for Linux. But still, post a thread (rather than just searching) on the Ubuntu forums, it's likely that someone has got them working...

[IllBashU]

i did that too, still got no answers...

i think ill get a new adapter... do you know any that work with ubuntu?

[paintba||er]

LMFAO, I read through some of your posts and you're such a n00b. And I've never actually used bluetooth in Linux, so I don't know any specific cards to recommend. Why don't you get a PCI card though?

[IllBashU]

hey, i am new to linux! ok... i just started useing it a few months ago.

[paintba||er]

There's a difference between a newb and a n00b...

[IllBashU]

there is... whats the dif?

[IllBashU]

HEY! i am not a noob! >_<

[paintba||er]

Haha, you'll never get laid!
