ds4drv: socket.error: [Errno 107] Transport endpoint is not connected (Gentoo)

I got this error when trying to run ps4drv on Gentoo. The entire trace is :

I just experienced the “Transport endpoint is not connected” error. I have 2 dongles. The first one works fine and it’s a bluetooth 4.0 usb dongle. The second one gives me the transport error and it’s a bluetooth 2.0 usb dongle.

The fact is that standard pairing is also problematic because it asks for a PIN, which does not happen to be necessary with the other device.

I managed to pair it using bluetoothctl after enabling the agent:

[bluetooth]# scan on
[bluetooth]# trust MAC
[bluetooth]# agent on
[bluetooth]# pair MAC
Request PIN code
[agent] Enter PIN code: 0000

And then “ds4drv --hidraw” worked fine.

Recap:

Without the “agent on” command, pair fails with “Failed to pair: org.bluez.Error.AuthenticationRejected” with the bluetooth 2 dongle.
The agent/pin steps are not necessary with the bluetooth 4 dongle.

I’ve read a lot of docs && I suppose that it’s due to bluetooth dongle… It has bluetooth 2.1

Any updates? Having the same issue on Fedora 32 (Tranposrt endpoint is not connected)

To add, on a raspberry pi it worked fine until I added a line to rc.local to run it silently at boot. Even after removing the single line from the script, this issue is still persisting.

The pi is running a modified version of debian with all the core functions of the OS in tact.

Here’s the output

pi@raspisan ~ $ sudo ds4drv
[info][controller 1] Created devices /dev/input/js0 (joystick) /dev/input/event1 (evdev)

It loops at that point for as long as the controller is in pair mode. The above was on a single pairing attempt.

I also have this issue. Following the instructions here i got it work on Linux Mint 17 using the command

bluez-simple-agent hci0 <my ds4 mac> remove

it prints out Creating device failed: org.bluez.Error.ConnectionAttemptFailed: Page Timeout but it still works

And now for pairing normally how should i do?

$ bluetoothctl -a
[bluetooth]# scan on
[bluetooth]# trust MAC
[bluetooth]# pair MAC
