** SEE THE ORIGINAL BUG REPORT IN LAUNCHPAD HERE: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/1750146 ** Xbox One Wireless Controllers refuse to connect via bluetooth with Ubuntu 17.10 in the gnome-control-center. Placing the controller into pairing mode makes it visible on the Bluetooth Devices list and the device pairs, but does not make the full connection needed to pull the controller out of pairing mode. This renders my controller unusable with my Ubuntu PC unless I want to resort to using the wire (microUSB). Please fix. See the attached system information below.

I've tried on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and I'm still getting the same issues.
Same issues with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with the 5.7.0 Kernel.
Same issue in Arch linux kernel 5.8.1. Worked fine before with xpadneo or xpad driver if disabled bluetooth ertm. Works properly with lts kernel (5.4.58) so regression happened somewhere between 5.4 and 5.8. Systemctl status bluetooth spams this: Refusing input device connect: No such file or directory (2) Refusing connection from *controller mac*: unknown device
Correcting my previous post: doesn't work with lts 5.4 anymore. Seems to be rare occasion that i got it to pair succesfully with 5.4, after that it connected normally with even 5.7 and 5.8. Then suddenly again doesn't connect or pair properly with any of those.
Yeah, it seems to get worse with every 5.4 LTS update. Worked almost flawless about some months ago (despite taking something from 30-60s to successfully connect). But I don't see a correlation to any commits. But now, it's almost impossible to connect successfully, it usually disconnects after a 1-2 minutes (coincidentally just when entering a game). I usually also see messages like this: During use of the controller (probably around disconnect time): [ 5304.480502] Bluetooth: Unexpected continuation frame (len 52) When plugging the BT dongle: [ 5241.926752] Bluetooth: hci0: unexpected event for opcode 0x0000 While it's in a loop of constantly connecting and disconnecting: [ 1120.736530] Bluetooth: hci0: hardware error 0x58 [ 1120.923550] debugfs: File 'le_min_key_size' in directory 'hci0' already present! [ 1120.923555] debugfs: File 'le_max_key_size' in directory 'hci0' already present! [ 1120.923557] debugfs: File 'force_bredr_smp' in directory 'hci0' already present! Other BT devices seem to just work fine tho I don't use a lot of them and only occasionally. It seems that the Xbox One S firmware does something strange in the BT protocol. It also needs either ERTM disabled to connect. Alternatively, one can apply this patch to be able to use ERTM: https://github.com/kakra/linux/commit/c8b24d83f227a7fecfa9420d6756074e8f9b542c I'm also feeling there's some internal state getting messed up within the controller on each BT pairing: Results are not really reproducible. I managed to get it to work flawlessly one time (stable connection despite 20-30s connect handshake time), then purged my Bluetooth config from /var/lib, re-paired the controller and now it's a mess - still with the same kernel version.

I'm having the same Bluetooth errors on dmesg, then it quickly disconnects. KDE will keep trying to connect and disconnect until the device leave the pairing mode.
I always need to install [Xpadneo](https://github.com/atar-axis/xpadneo) in 2024. Without it, my Xbox One gamepad is not detected. Every distro and DE is affected.
Hello, can you add drivers for the Xbox controller? It's one of the most used controllers on PC and it's annoying because xpadneo disables secure boot.
I am also affected by this bug, can you fix it? Thank you.
