Hello, I have this issue where my controller just doesn't connect to my computer. But when live booting ubuntu it works fine on the same hardware. I tried connecting with bluetooth through the kde bluetooth manager, bluez-utils and blueman. When on Arch Linux the lights on the controller don't even indicate that it is connected or paired.
In the past it worked fine with bluetooth and wired but lately, ca. 1 month ago i kept having issues. When connected through usb, the computer and controller indicate a connection but the buttons don't do anything in steam, games or online/kde-plasma-builtin gamepad tester.
I also tried connecting to xfce, also didn't work. Also I'm using the linux-zen kernel.

hello, it has been half a year and i still haven't found any solution. Can anyone please help me?
I have been so desperate that I created a kvm (arch btw) with gpu passthrough and passed through my bluetooth dongle, then used smb to access the games on my host machine just to play with my controller. I think this is the worst way to fix that issue.
Please help me guys i am begging I can't do this much longer, I have no more disk space. It has been half a year.

Run
udevadm monitor --udevand then plug the controller in, you should see a bunch of stuff come up, see if it's loading the kernel module hid_sony
if it isn't try plugging it in and running
sudo modprobe hid_sonyAlso check in dmesg, you should see a message that contains "sony" to suggest that the hid_sony driver is managing the device and not a generic controller driver.
