Rapid connection/disconnection cycle when attempting to pair with Switch about libnxctrl

[DetectiveNaoya]

I've also struggled with even after testing it with 3 different pcs (and two different switches one OLED other being the launch model)

I am also experiencing the same exact issue, if I go to Bluetooth devices I see "Nintendo Switch". But it keeps switching back and forth bewteen "Connected" and "Disconnected". The controller never shows up on my actual switch tho, I tried bare metal as well as a VM and nothing. I tried for kicks downgrading libnxctrl to 0.1.6 and had the same issue.
My guess is we are either derping on a step that it isn't obvious, or the code needs updating.

Also having this issue, 2 computers and 2 different switch consoles. Not sure if it's because we're using splatoon 3 and this was originally made for splatoon 2?

So after some fidling the following fixed it for me, @bittoh and @DetectiveNaoya. Go to /etc/bluetooth/input.conf and uncomment UserspaceHID=true, restart the bluetooth service or reboot your system and that should do the trick!
If that also works for you guys then maybe @Victrid should add that to the readme.

@SailingMonkey Which linux distro are you using? I wonder if it is a distro specific problem, as I have no /etc/bluetooth/input.conf file on my distro.

I saw this file from Gentoo's Wiki page.

@SailingMonkey are you using the flashable image? I don't see it on my end.

@Victrid and @DetectiveNaoya, I'm using a fresh install of Ubuntu in an Oracle VirtualBox and I got that solution from this thread:

Hello, your program looks fantastic.

I'm frustrated because I can't get it to work

I have the same problem and I used the disk linux image you provide, it connects / disconnects constantly.

I also tried with a bluetooth dongle, same problem as described before.

Is this due to the latest version of the switch firmware?

Thank you for your work, I hope to be able to enjoy it soon, :-)

I saw that you offered a version for windows splatplost.win11.x86-64.build.exe

When I connect to switch. If I choose the splatplost option

I have

Error when pairing

SerialException
could not open port '': FileNotFoundError(2, 'The specified path was not found.'None, 3)

ANd if I choose remote and enter the switch IP address as http://192.XXX.X.XX:8080
I have this:

Error when pairing
ConnectionRefusedError
[WinError 10061] No connection could be established because the target computer expressly refused it

I have windows 10 with a bluetooth card, an updated switch OLED with the last firmware installed. Am I missing something for this to work? thanks.

I had this issue when the switch was in the dock. Removing it from the dock immediately resolved this issue for me.
