Hi all,
I’ve been unable to establish a successful connection to my PS4 Dualshock controller since about F38. I’m not sure why this occurred, I don’t mess with any bluetooth packages myself. The behavior is as follows:
The controller is picked up on a bluetooth scan (via the widget, bluetoothctl, blueman, I’ve tried them all), and I am able to mark it as trusted and even pair with it. However, when trying to connect after pairing, it connects for about a second then fails. Bluetoothctl and my GUI apps report this error:
br-connection-profile-unavailable
Looking at the bluetooth.service logs I see:
src/service.c:service_probe() input-hid profile probe failed for <MAC>
I’ve tried setting ControllerMode = bredr in my /etc/bluetooth/main.conf, I’ve tried deleting my .config/pulse contents (it seems there’s some issue with bluez and not having pulseaudio, which I believe is the case for Fedora. Maybe it’s cause the dualshock also has audio transmission capability), all to no avail.
I believe in the 8 months I’ve had this behavior, I got my controller to connect for one session. But it looks like I’m unable to reproduce that.
Any other potential advice for this?
