[xpadneo/bluetooth] can't connect xbox one wireless s controller (solved)

[nemo93]

Hello,

I've done an upgrade of the packages on my pi4 recently and got the new 5.4 kernel. Not sure it's related but since then I can't connect my Xbox One Wireless S controller over bluetooth. I'm using xpadneo as a driver for a long time now and I see driver is compiling properly. Yet whenever I go to the Bluetooth option in Retropie Setup and Connect I do see the controller in the list but it got stuck at the "security" question. I could pick any option Setup will hang in there. After 5mn I have to Ctrl+C.

Am I doing anything wrong?

PI4 / Buster 10.4
Linux 5.4.51-v7l+ armv7l

In case it's relevant the logs after I pressed the Ctrl+C keys.

RetroPie-Setup version: 4.6.6 (333cc255)

Currently a bug in the bluez package. Workaround fixing the issue can be found here.
