Xbox One Wireless Controllers refuse to connect via bluetooth with Ubuntu 17.10 in the gnome-control-center.
Placing the controller into pairing mode makes it visible on the Bluetooth Devices list and the device pairs, but does not make the full connection needed to pull the controller out of pairing mode.

This renders my controller unusable with my Ubuntu PC unless I want to resort to using the wire (microUSB).

Please fix. See the attached system information below.

I've tried on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and I'm still getting the same issues.

It's a kernel-level problem. You'll be glad to know that the kernel patch for this was merged upstream. Getting a newer distribution should fix that problem.
