[00:07] <xu-irc0w> the link quality on this headset is stuck at 10 percent
[00:07] <xu-irc0w> can anyone please respond?
[00:12] <xu-irc0w> on further experimentation, it looks like the problem is my external bluetooth dongle
[00:12] <xu-irc0w> which is annoying because it's long range, without it i don't get audio throughout the apartment
[00:38] <xangua> So you're using a dongle that is probably Bluetooth 2.0 or something (?)
[00:40] <xu-irc0w> https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BL3RJGM8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[00:40] <xu-irc0w> this is what i'm using
[00:43] <xangua> What Xubuntu release?
[00:52] <xu-irc0w> where would i find that info?
[00:56] <xu-irc0w> 23.10
[08:09] <joaohall> .
[16:00] <xubuntu42d> hi
[16:00] <xubuntu42d> pls how can I add my self as sudoer in my Xubuntu?
[19:35] <xu-irc0w> ok for some reason i can't fathom, both my long range bluetooth dongles won't work on linux
[19:36] <xu-irc0w> the audio is very choppy, and it won't even pair to my new shokz headset
[19:36] <xu-irc0w> the onboard works fine
[19:36] <xu-irc0w> but without the dongles, my bluetooth audio range is limited to only half the apartment
[19:41] <diogenes_Vx15>  xu-irc0w when did you buy those dongles?
[19:41] <xu-irc0w> the new one i bought yesterday
[19:41] <xu-irc0w> the old one i bought about four months back at least
[19:41] <xu-irc0w> both have the same problem
[19:45] <diogenes_Vx15> xu-irc0w, that's expected for the newest hardware, you don't just go and buy anything brand new made exclusively for windows and expect it to work flawlessly on Linux, if you wanted to have a good Linux experience you should have done a little research before buying. It's very little you can do now only hope for the best in the future, you might also try a newer kernel and see if you are lucky.
[19:46] <xu-irc0w> so you're telling me i should have bought a bluetooth dongle on ebay
[19:46] <xu-irc0w> instead of amazon
[19:46] <xu-irc0w> well i have a ninja kernel installed on the laptop already, installing it on the desktop isn't such a bad idea
[19:47] <diogenes_Vx15> xu-irc0w, doesn't matter where you buy the dongle from, the only thing that matters is whether that thing is supported on Linux.
[19:47] <diogenes_Vx15> so if you have ninja kernel then plug those dongles there and see if they work.
[19:47] <xu-irc0w> is there a place where i can check for compatibility?  amazon is trash when it comes to searching for linux specific hardware.
[19:50] <xu-irc0w> the behavior is a little screwy on the ninja kernel
[19:50] <xu-irc0w> but it did pair
[19:56] <xu-irc0w> the new dongle dropped the connection once i left the room
[19:56] <xu-irc0w> the old one seems to work on the ninja kernel just fine
[19:57] <diogenes_Vx15> so it's not that hopeless then.
[19:58] <xu-irc0w> the bose headset works flawlessly on the ninja kernel
[19:59] <xu-irc0w> looks like i should install that by default from now on
[19:59] <xu-irc0w> trying to find the one i used for the laptop
[20:01] <xu-irc0w> installing now
[20:01] <xu-irc0w> it was the xanmod kernel
[20:01] <xu-irc0w> every linux install really is a frankenstein isn't it?
[20:02] <xu-irc0w> it should automatically boot to the ninja kernel right?  or do i have to select it every time the computer starts?
[20:05] <xu-irc0w> looks like it defaults to the newer kernel
