Controller stops working after sleep mode

Desktop Bazzite OS, AMD GPU, happens with all controller types. (Xbox, PS4...) Reboot fixes the problem. Is this linux kernel related or Bazzite OS?

Are there controllers connected through Bluetooth? Chances are Bluetooth not disconnecting from these before suspension

Yes all bluetooth. Ow ok

Alright, for me seems it works. Would like to improve it but should work. try pasting this in the terminal:

sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/bazzite-bluetooth-sleep-workaround.service <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=Reset bluetooth controller before sleep
Before=sleep.target
StopWhenUnneeded=yes

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecCondition=/usr/bin/systemctl is-enabled bluetooth.service
ExecStart=/usr/bin/systemctl restart bluetooth.service
RemainAfterExit=yes

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
EOF
systemctl enable --now bazzite-bluetooth-sleep-workaround.service

sudo tee /etc/systemd/system/bazzite-bluetooth-sleep-workaround.service <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=Reset bluetooth controller before sleep
Before=sleep.target
StopWhenUnneeded=yes

[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecCondition=/usr/bin/systemctl is-enabled bluetooth.service
ExecStart=/usr/bin/systemctl restart bluetooth.service
RemainAfterExit=yes

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
EOF
systemctl enable --now bazzite-bluetooth-sleep-workaround.service

After, try suspending and see if the controller keeps connected

That worked. My controller is working after sleep mode. Thx a lot! 🙏 Aah in the game it’s gone again. It does make the clicking noise. But in Steam Game Mode GUI it does work

Yeah, basically will restart bluetooth before going to sleep, forcing controllers to disconnect beforehand

Probably this will be applied by default in future releases https://github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/pull/1390

This solves the issue with controllers being kept powered on during suspend. See issue #1289, issue #1040 and potentialy issue #1119
