hello im trying to change the google stadia controller to bluetooth mode but i keep getting the issue

Close other tabs using the controller Couldn’t connect to your controller because it’s currently being used by another tab or program.

Close any tabs or programs using the controller, then try again.

is there any fix

iv used lsusb and i can confirm that ubuntu does indeed see the controller

please help

Hi and welcome to Ubuntu. Please state your Ubuntu version and provide some logs. Put those infos into your question, not the comments.

I'm having the exact same issue. At first I thought it may be that it was connecting to the WiFi; which it was. So I factory reset both controllers. Now they don't connect via WiFi - but I'm still getting this message. I'd be interested to know what you've already tried and/or if you've found a fix for this.

[EDIT] I had the same issue. This seems to be a very rare problem.

I've found two fixes:

There's one "fix" from the spinics.net mailing list. It's not a fix to the actual issue, but it is a means to an end. The poster's fix was to simply use a different OS/machine ... Windows in their case.
This is the one I used to fix this odd Stadia controller Bluetooth-ing problem. I use Brave, a Chromium-based browser. After downloading the latest release of Chrome itself (as in Google Chrome Chrome ... not Chromium or any other derivative), it finally worked.

I'm not sure what security measure or site setting Brave is doing - or if there's a specific Google-loaded certificate/key that only comes with a Chrome install; but whatever the case, a fresh Google Chrome install did the trick.

On your Linux computer, open the terminal and run the following command from any directory:

$ { cat <<EOF
# SDP protocol
KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1fc9", MODE="0666"
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="1fc9", MODE="0666"
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="0d28", MODE="0666"
# Flashloader
KERNEL=="hidraw*", ATTRS{idVendor}=="15a2", MODE="0666"
# Controller
KERNEL=="hidraw*", SUBSYSTEM=="hidraw", ATTRS{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="18d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="9400", MODE="0660", TAG+="uaccess"
EOF
} | sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/70-stadiacontroller-flash.rules

Next, run the following command:

$ sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo udevadm trigger

This is one of the first things Linux users are asked to do. I, myself, have already run both of these, yet the message persists - even after a reboot and update/upgrade. I'd be surprised if the OP hasn't also already tried this. The problem seems to be something else. Very strange.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
