Particularly on the case of PS3 controller, I still think this is a regression that could be fixed.
PS3 controllers do not use the standard Bluetooth connection procedure. Instead, they require a connection via USB, and keys are exchanged via there. There is the special `sixaxis` BlueZ plugin to support that protocol, and before that there was the `sixpair.c` utility found here: https://www.pabr.org/sixlinux/sixlinux.en.html Thus, it seems that there could be an exception for wire-paired devices, as it would still fix the issue raised by the CSV for us, PS3 controller users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bluez in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2045931 Title: ps3 sixasis controller request pin to connect to bt Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: [ Workaround ] 1.
