I believe it has paired properly. At least bluetoothctl lists it as paired.

As a comment in plugins/wiimote.c says that if we don't connect to the input service right away, the wiimote will turn off after about 5 seconds. > In case the pairing actually works but we still fail to resolve the > services you can create a custom plugin that upon detecting it is this > specific device generates a proper SDP record and add HID UUID via > btd_device_add_uuid. Awesome thanks! I think this is necessary. It looks like the wiimote is connecting (although some unusual process is needed for it to actually show up in bluetoothctl) and pairing (but also terminating due to a timeout). But when I reconnect, the device doesn't have any services associated with it due to sdp browse failing, and so we can't connect to its input device. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
