I've noticed this too, and thought I'd share my experience. I tried patching bluez-4.101-9.fc19 according to the website listed, but it only sort of worked. It did indeed trigger the hid-sony module, but after a few seconds it died with the following error: sony: probe of 0005:054C:0268.005 failed with error -5 After that message if I go to /dev/input I see no js* devices. This all did work at one time though. Fedora 16 with bluez 4.96-3.fc16, bluedevil 1.2.3-1.fc16 and kernel 3.6.11-f.fc16 worked great! All I had to do to make it work was plug in the controller via usb, unhook it, press the PS button, authorize the connection and I was good to go! Indeed, it's a regression. And in the worst possible time too, when Linux Gaming gets practically handed to us. I have a weird problem where bluetooth worked find with Bluez 5 in the Fedora 20 Beta but now I can't get it to work again in Fedora 20 release. I don't believe I didn't anything differently; I paired the controller with sixpair and used bluetoothctl to scan for devices. In the Beta this worked but now I can't get the controller to connect. Bluetoothctl sees the mac address but never is able to connect. I sort of noticed the same thing. With bluez 5.10 bluetooth worked fine. With 5.12 it doesn't work. I'm doing this all from run-level 3 though and not using any GUI's. The way it worked in bluez 5.10 was I'd plug it in via usb and it would create a file in /var/lib/bluetooth/<btadapteraddress>/cache I'd then unplug the ps3 controller from the usb cable, hit the PS button and it would work (i.e. create a device as /dev/input/js0). With bluez 5.12 It doesn't create the file anymore in /var/lib/bluetooth/... and then when I unplug the cable and hit the PS button I get an error saying something like it can't find the path to something. There was a new bluez packaged pushed out not too long ago that claims to fix a lot of problems, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet. I figure I'd have to open a new bug report since this bug is bluez 4 and these new issues are bluez 5. This message is a notice that Fedora 19 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 19. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '19'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 19 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. Fedora 19 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-01-06. Fedora 19 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
