Can’t Get My Gamepads to Pair via Bluetooth on Fedora

Asked By TechieWhale93 On

I've been having trouble with my PC pairing Dualsense and Dualshock 4 controllers through Bluetooth. Whenever I try to pair them, they disconnect right away and won't reconnect. Interestingly, I can pair some wireless headphones without any issues. I noticed that the same controllers connect just fine on my laptop running the same version of Fedora, but they won't work on my desktop. I've checked the logs and it seems like there are errors related to creating a connection.

Here's some relevant log info when I try to pair:
- 'No matching connection for device'
- 'Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed br-connection-create-socket'

I'm also using Fedora Linux 42 with KDE Plasma. Help would be appreciated!

This doesn't fix the issue, but I've been just using a USB cable with my Xbox Controller on Linux. Honestly, I want to enjoy my games without too much troubleshooting, and the wired connection works perfectly fine. Maybe I'll look into it later.

You might want to try installing or using Blueman. It's a Bluetooth manager that can sometimes handle devices better than the default settings. Have you given that a shot?
