Can't connect wiimote to Linux

[sneakyswin39]

I'm running Dolphin 5.0-12528 on Pop OS and I can't figure out how to connect my TR Wiimote to Dolphin. I can pair it with the OS, but then I have a bunch of separate devices and it would be a lot easier to just use it normally. I tried using wmgui, but that gives me a bunch of errors no matter what I try. I was able to connect it correctly once last night, but I can't get back to that and I'm really stumped right now.

Do not use Bluetooth utilities to connect your remote. Press 1+2 or sync on your remote while pressing "Refresh" in Dolphin's "Controllers" dialog (or enable "Continuous Scanning").

I tried using Dolphin on its own several times before and after I tried other tools, but it just would not connect.

Were you following the instructions on the wiki page?

I tried the 1+2 buttons, I tried the sync button, I tried both scanning modes, made sure my Wii was off. It just refuses to connect.

Does Dolphin produce any log output when attempting to connect?

When I try to connect it I get the following:
09:26:649 [color=#00ff00]Core/HW/WiimoteReal/WiimoteReal.cpp:147 N[Wiimote]: Disconnected real wiimote.[/color]

Then, after about 30 seconds:
10:28:308 [color=#00ff00]Core/HW/WiimoteReal/WiimoteReal.cpp:147 N[Wiimote]: Disconnected real wiimote.[/color]

Also, it says Wii Remote 1 connected when I'm running a game, but the lights on the Wiimote aren't on, and none of the buttons do anything in game.

Do you have slots set to "Real Wii Remote"? Screenshot of controllers dialog?

I'm having the same issue here. My PC seems to connect to the wii remote just fine. Light comes on showing player 1, Linux bluetooth config shows it's connected, I have the wii remote listed in the controller configuration device drop down menu... but it just doesn't seem to be getting any input. No response in games what so ever.
