I got an Xbox One S controller as a gift for Christmas and I found out that it can connect to a PC with Bluetooth. It's supposed to work on Windows 10 but it doesn't work on my Ubuntu PC. It shows up as an option in the Bluetooth settings but when I connect to it it just instantly loses connection. How can I use the controller via Bluetooth on my Ubuntu 17.10 PC? I would like to use it for emulators and maybe even Steam games.

To solve your problem:
Install sysfsutils
sudo apt install sysfsutilsEdit
/etc/sysfs.conf(as admin), add this line at the end of the file:/module/bluetooth/parameters/disable_ertm=1Save changes and restart

It still doesn't connect to the controller. The light on the controller never stops flashing and the PC always disconnects from the controller immediately. Jan 21, 2018 at 21:02

Okay, this half worked. After trying a few times the controller did finally pair. The problem is that it doesn't show up as a controller in the emulator. Also, I tried running my Blender Game that I made that supports Xbox One controller input and even that didn't recognize my controller. How do I get programs to recognize the controller as a controller? Jan 27, 2018 at 0:11

The solution for arch based distros: "edit /etc/default/grub and add the kernel flag 'bluetooth.disable_ertm=1' to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX line. Then run 'sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg' and reboot." After this, you should be able to pair your gamepad. May 3, 2018 at 1:02
