Love this community. Thanks for a fast response @psyke83 & @mitu.
I ended up hacking your hack in sixaxis-helper.sh.
I basically disabled the whole restart and renaming section by commenting it out.
sixaxis_rename() {
local bt_profile="/var/lib/bluetooth/${BLUETOOTH_MAC^^}/${SIXAXIS_MAC^^}/info"
if [[ "$(grep -e "^Name=PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller" -e "^Trusted=true" -c "$bt_profile" 2>/dev/null)" == "2" ]]; then
echo "BlueZ <5.48 hack: renaming BT profile to make consistent with kernel module name"
# systemctl stop bluetooth
# sed 's/.*Name=PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller.*/Name=Sony PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller/' -i "$bt_profile"
# systemctl start bluetooth
exit 0
fi
}
The controller paired then.
but like you stated I had to re-config the controller inputs (for BT vs USB).
Digging deeper I compared the two files under var/lib/bluetooth/${BLUETOOTH_MAC^^}/${SIXAXIS_MAC^^}/info for the On-board BT and the Dongle BT addresses.
The file for the on-board BT holds the changes to the renaming "Sony PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller"
But for the BT dongle - on restart it must overwrite the file again with the old name "PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller".
Anyway I have a fix that works for me.
