Unable to connect bluetooth controller
Hey y'all,
I've been browsing around looking for an answer. The closest I got was https://discord.com/channels/1072614816579063828/1197231161894776853, but my system doesn't include
ujust configure-gamepad. It returns
I saw that updated versions would have xpad set as the default drivers for Bazzite soemtime past 2.2, and I installed this on the 1st, so I assume I have that installed. I did add a wireplumber lua at ~/.config/wireplumber/bluetooth.lua.d/61-bluez-monitor.lua to be able to use my airpods in mSBC mode, but I wouldn't think that would be the issue.Solution:Jump to solution
Here's the fix that I've found for this, not the best, but it's now doing what I want it to:
Open up Console and type in
bluetoothctl
Once in bluetoothctl, start scanning by using the command scan on
After your controller/device that you're looking to connect has been listed, connect to it using connect *MAC address of device*...5 Replies
It was removed because it's no longer needed
xone was modified to not break xpad
gotcha gotcha, so I'll just mark that part out. I'm using the bazzite-deck image, so I'm on KDE. Is there any way to get the error that bluez might throw when trying to connect to my controller? When I attemt to connect, all I get is this on the desktop. In the gaming mode, it just is the spinning circle and then stops.
Have you tried setting it to Android or Direct mode and see if it works?
Same error

Test the controller/device to make sure it is functional
After testing, disconnnect the controller/device via the bluetooth menu. Once the controller/device is disconnected, it should disappear from the menu.
Turn the controller/device back on, this should have it attempt to re-connect to the system. You should receive a notification asking what to do about the bluetooth device. Selecting "Trust and Allow" will save the device to the list, allowing for easier pairing in the future.
