Ubuntu needs some way to upgrade the firmware for these controllers, and it's a little ridiculous if Microsoft won't help.

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.
