Fedora 42 : can't reconnect Wireless Controller

Ask Fedora
1

Hi,

Since i updated to Fedora 42 i need systematically to delete my Wireless Controller (DualSense) and re-paired to be able to connect again and use it. I use the motherboard integrated bluetooth device.
No log about neither bluetooth.service nor dmesg. It’s a bit annoying.

Is their any solution for the issue ?

If you updated a Kernel it might be driver issue. So please give us a inxi -n and paste it as preformatet </> thext here. So we can see if it uses the correct driver.

Here :

$ inxi -n
Network:
  Device-1: Intel Ethernet I225-V driver: igc
  IF: enp4s0 state: up speed: 1000 Mbps duplex: full mac: 9c:6b:00:04:7f:f2
  Device-2: Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 driver: iwlwifi
  IF: wlp5s0 state: down mac: ae:46:2e:ba:33:43
  Device-3: Realtek RTL8153 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter driver: r8152 type: USB
  IF: enp2s0f0u2u1 state: down mac: 00:1c:c2:8e:de:de

It takes the wrong driver. Before changing something you could check if deactivating autosuspend helps to solve your issue:

And here a separate driver to install:

You’re wrong, i don’t have any trouble on this, i have an USB dock with ethernet port, but it’s not my problem, i don’t use it.
I think the issue is with AX200 chipset which integrates the bluetooth. I have disabled wifi in BIOS because i don’t use it. It’s not the first time the problem occurs, i should open a ticket.

For some systems, disabling WiFi in BIOS makes WiFi unavailable to linux. I wouldn’t be surprised if it also disables BT. You can turn off WiFi in Gnome settings. Try enabling WiFi in BIOS for a test.

Most time the onboard bluetooth and wifi share the same chip. That’s why I meant a good working driver is important. Have a look on your inxi. The adapter is 8153 and the dirver used 8152 !

I’ve ever tried it doesn’t work.
In previous Fedora’s versions the problem occurred when their were a kernel update and corrected in a next update. But with Fedora 42 the issue still occurs in every kernel update.

OK,
I haven’t eared it’s a “well known” problem for Sony’s controller and bluez component.
The workaround is to set the value ClassicBondedOnly=false in /etc/bluetooth/input.conf but it introduces securities’ problems see explanations :
