Anyone can help me? I wasn’t able to find any solution for this. The controller works via USB-C just fine but I only have a very short cable, I borrowed the controller from a friend to try it and don’t have the original cable but I was intending to play via Bluetooth anyways.
Basically, I can find the controller via pairing mode but when I try to pair it I get error:
The Setup of Dual Sense wireless Controller has failed.
After that I can see it in available wireless devices but when I try to connect to it it will immediately disconnect again, checked with bluetoothctl.
Using on-board Intel AX200 wireless controller.
I had the same issue on Nobara KDE which is the same as Fedora KDE. The issue was with bluez the bluetooth api, version 5.69 is broken. Either you can downgrade it or wait for an update. To downgrade, use the command line “sudo dnf downgrade bluez” to downgrade bluez to 5.68 which is working for me.
That actually worked! Thanks!
You’re welcome
Thanks! I’ll try this when I get home
Are you trying to pair the controller while you have a pair of Bluetooth headphones already actively connected? The reason why I ask is because I’ve ran into issues with the AX200 when attempting to use both at the same time. Either the Dualsense would stop working or it would kick my headphones into the lower bandwidth HSP mode. I ended up having to use a separate USB bluetooth dongle just to get the two to play together nicely.
For what it’s worth, same issue happens to me on Kinoite as well. On an AMD board. With AMD 6E/Bluetooth.
My wi-fi works fine and my Bluetooth works fine for audio/headphones so I hadn’t realized it was an issue until I got a new dualsense on sale a few weeks back and have been playing corded this entire time 😅
I’m also on AM4 platform
I’m going to say this again, as I have for so many other people having issues with F38:
FEDORA 38 IS TERRIBLE FOR GAMING
Switch to a different distro that is much better suited for gaming. Ubuntu, Mint, PopOS, SteamOS, Manjaro…just not F38. There are so many complaints, it’s time to just ditch it.
As a Fedora 38 user, I have no problem gaming on it. What problems are you talking about?
This is literally the only issue I have. All games run fine for me without issues. I only borrowed the controller to try it so that I know if I should buy it or not. So far I don’t really like it much over my Steam Controller. I just wanted to play over Bluetooth and it does not work, cable works fine but it’s just too short so I have to sit next to my case and look at a monitor from an angle. It’s not a BT issue as well since othr BT devices like my SONY WH-1000XM3 headphones work just fine.
