I recently installed qtsixa to connect my ps3 controller via Bluetooth. Now the problem is that, after installing it, the bluetooth tray icon dissappeared even when my controller is disconnected. When I was on windows, I couldn't use both my controller and headset simultaneously, but maybe I could on here?
So really, I have 2 problems:
I am running Ubuntu 19.10 on the KDE Plasma Desktop Env.
I figured half of it out. This bug submission matches my problem and the solution (detailed at comment #7) worked for me, too. Long story short, qtsixa removes the execute attribute of /usr/sbin/bluetoothd (the bluetooth service), so it cannot run anymore. I fixed it by stopping qtsixa with
sixad --stop
After wich I modified the attributes of the service like this
sudo chmod +x /usr/sbin/bluetoothd
And then started the service
sudo systemctl start bluetooth.service
Running the sixad --start command however reverts all of the above. I have yet to integrate all this into a startup command.
Alright, something happened and I can just connect my controller AND headset using the standard ubuntu bluetooth driver. I am afraid to uninstall qtsixa eventhough it supposedly isn't on.
