PS4 controller not connecting












1














It just glows and blinks orange. I did connect a friend's ps4 controller this way before mine, and it worked, but mine's doesn't.



I don't have bluetooth or an adapter to use or test. I have pressed the small button on the back of the controller while plugged but it didn't work.



I'm on Ubuntu 18.10.



Found this post and I'm getting the same thing.
