Hey everyone! ^^ I’ve just installed Manjaro (XFCE, switched to Cinnamon) and, while trying to play games, am noticing that I can’t use my third-party PS4 controller. It’s not an official controller, and I figure that’s the cause.
When using PS+Share to enable pairing mode, and then pressing pair in the bluetooth manager, the controller will connect for a few seconds. The light will keep flashing as if it’s in pairing mode, and then it’ll disconnect the controller. If I try to connect again after this, it doesn’t even connect, with the error Connection Failed: br-connection-create-socket.
Output from trying with bluetoothctl:
[bluetooth]# pair 98:B6:E9:BE:15:21
