Using wireless fake PS3 controller in UBUNTU 22.4

 Install bluez and blueman packages and check if your bluetooth work properly, you can connect bluetooth headset for example.

sudo apt install bluez blueman

Download bluez package source, and install package dependencies

apt-get source bluez

sudo apt-get build-dep bluez

If there's and dependencies issues can be solved with aptitude

There's an AUR package for arch linux users, that fix the problem, and this solution is inspired from it.

Edit bluez package and apply patch fix for fake controllers

cd bluez_package_dir

Edit ./profiles/input/sixaxis.h with your prefered editor and add the following lines after line 88 and before return NULL; you can check the patch for reference. And if you fake controller has different vid or pid you can try changing them, just try the patch and test it first.

if ( vid == 0x054c && pid == 0x0268 )
	return &devices[1];

Then rebuild and reinstall the packages.

cd bluez_package_dir

dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b

sudo apt reinstall bluez_package_dir/../libbluetooth3_5.64-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb
sudo apt reinstall bluez_package_dir/../libbluetooth-dev_5.64-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb

package version 5.64 is for example your may differ

Then restart bluetooth service and test

systemctl restart bluetooth.service

Now connect the controller using USB, you should see the trust popup, accept and disconnect USB and press ps button and you're good to go
