Bluetooth PlayStation/Controller Pairing issue:

I have been affected by:
- https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/issues/509#issuecomment-1802526952 ✅ ⚠️
- https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/issues/456
- 🎮bazzite

Or something similar.

I usually play with my cord, but it would be nice to be able to pair it.

I can post my hardware details or try some of the other troubleshooting measures there on the issues page and circle back....

But wanted to bring it to discord for 👀.

Solution
Issue is pending charging my controller.... it finally paired, then went to a 5% warning... it'd be funny.... if that's also somehow related.
My rabbit hole... I followed:
- https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/issues/456#issuecomment-1778188420

1.
ls -l /sys/class/bluetooth
ls -l /sys/class/bluetooth

I spit my result into:
2.
sudo chmod 755 /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/0000:05:00.0/0000:06:0c.0/0000:10:00.0/usb1/1-7/1-7:1.0/bluetooth/
sudo chmod 755 /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.1/0000:05:00.0/0000:06:0c.0/0000:10:00.0/usb1/1-7/1-7:1.0/bluetooth/

Restarted Bluetooth:
3.
sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl restart bluetooth.service
sudo systemctl daemon-reload && sudo systemctl restart bluetooth.service

🎮 Paired!! 5% Battery Warning......charging now....update after...

I assume the USB power from my computer isn't enough to charge the battery while using??? o.O
I loathe Reddit but my first useful search result:
- https://www.reddit.com/r/PS5/comments/jujvlp/ps5_controller_not_charging_on_pc/
For anyone trying to charge their DualSense on PC, make sure STEAM client is turned OFF, otherwise, when plugging the USB it will turn the controller led Blue, which I suppose it means it's on game mode, and won't charge.

Stopping steam and plugging on turn the led blinking orange, hopefully means it's actually charging.
