SUMMARY When I connect my PS3 controller on KDE neon User Edition, I get this message: Sony PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller is requesting access to this computer and it stays this way. I tested to see if the same issue happens on Kubuntu 20.04.1, and I can connect my controller without any issues. I tested it also Linux Mint Cinnamon, and I didn't encounter this issue either. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Turn Bluetooth on 2. Connect PS3 controller OBSERVED RESULT I get this message: Sony PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller is requesting access to this computer EXPECTED RESULT I suppose to get a message with two choices: Authorize, and trust, or Authorize. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon 5.20 User Edition KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.75.0 Qt Version: 5.15.0
Thanks for the report Ahmed, can you please provide a screenshot of what you are being shown when the controller is requesting access.

Thanks for the info.
Created attachment 133136 [details] dmesg_output Here is a log of dmesg output. There are a few errors related to Bluetooth, and USB.
Seems like the notification should have a button on it or something. What happens on Cinnamon instead?
Created attachment 133181 [details] Cinnamon_message I get a message like the one in the picture, and on Kubuntu, I get the same message that I get on KDE neon, but with buttons.
Thanks. Looks an issue with the bluetooth connection request notification somehow.
this is odd, judging by the code (https://invent.kde.org/plasma/bluedevil/-/blob/master/src/kded/helpers/requestauthorization.cpp#L31) there should be actions to allow/deny the request. I don't have a PS3 controller at hand to test it myself though
If I remember correctly, I was able to authorize the controller before on KDE neon User Edition, and I was able to use the controller one time, but all I get now is the message box without the buttons whatever how many times I try. How can I delete all Bluedevil configurations and all previous information about authorized devices? I do not know if that can help or not, but it is worth a shot.
Somehow the buttons appeared when I was on a Wayland session, and I can now connect my wireless controller without any issues. I still use KDE Plasma 5.20.2. I have not updated it yet to 5.20.3.
The same issue happens on KDE Plasma 5.20.3. The buttons only appears after logging in to a Wayland session.
When I log in to Wayland, the buttons appear correctly, and after I log out from Wayland, and log in to Xorg, the buttons still appear correctly, but after I restart my machine, and log in to Xorg, the buttons disappear again. I would settle with using Wayland all the time, but it has a few issues that make it unbearable right now.
Now, the opposite is happening. I can get the buttons to appear on Xorg, but not on Wayland. This issue does not make any sense.
OK, I got it now. What fixes the issue is logging off, and logging in again. It does not matter if it is a wayland, or Xorg session, but I need to log in with the controller connected through USB cable.
very odd. I'll see if I can get hands on a device to try to reproduce this
I do not encounter this issue on Kubuntu 20.04, or Kubuntu 20.10. However, I have a similar issue on Kubuntu 20.10 when I try to pair a phone, or send files from a phone to KDE Plasma. Here is a link to this issue: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=429979

I'm starting to think you might have a general issue with action buttons in notification since I don't see bluedevil doing anything wrong
I also have a PS3 controller and didn't notice this particular issue with the authorize/deny buttons. And I did reconnect the controller and paired many times because I found this other issue unrelated to this: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=432715 My system: Distro: OpenSUSE Tumbleweed KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.80.0 I notice that you have KDE 5.20.2 with KDE Framework 5.75.0, perhaps this issue comes from the recent KDE plasma paired with an old KDE Framework?

For people experiencing this, can you rproduce it on Wayland? Or only on X11 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 449196 ***
