Bluetooth Authentication: Always Accept

  • 772

When I plug in a PS4 dualshock controller, via USB, a Bluetooth Authentication message pops up in the top right corner with:-

Bluetooth Authentication Authorisation request for: Wireless Controller (##:##:##:##:##:##) Service: Human Interface Device Service (HID) Always Accept | Accept | Deny

  1. according to the panel icon (blueman-applet), Bluetooth isn't On
  2. Choosing "always accept" doesn't do anything, the message just pops up repeatedly (until they fill the whole screen)

How do I either 'Always Accept', or stop the messages popping up?

  1. Sometimes I have the same issue, but when I connect to a bluetooth device.

    Some weird combination of turning on/off solves it.

    You could also try running bluetoothctl on your terminal, as it usually prints relevant information regarding bluetooth devices or you could simply turn off the interface from there (given the GUI issues)

    You could try this specifically:

    bluetoothctl

    power off

    quit

    or if you see some connection issues, perharphs your system is automtically trying to connect to a "paired" device?

    You could try manually disconnecting

    list to find the device address

    disconnect 08:EB:ED:9F:51:79 to disconnect, take the address found above
