Ubuntu Version :

Desktop Environment :
GNOME
Problem Description :
I’ve been trying to connect my gamepad to my new computer, only, after turning on pairing mode, whenever I try to connect it in the bluetooth menu, it keeps disconnecting. I’d like to know how I can get the gamepad to connect to the computer and stay connected.

Replying to add updated information:
Tried getting help with the xpadneo github, but they eventually told me this was something they couldn’t help with.

## Describe the Bug
The gamepad previously would disconnect right after connecting and vice versa. However, now that I've updated the firmware, the gamepad connects but doesn't rumble, and I can't seem to get any input from it.
When installing xpadneo, the first time I was prompted to set up a new Machine Owner Key, but I forgot to do so (I accidentally selected on the wrong option after restarting and didn't know how to get back to the screen).
## Steps to Reproduce
1. Install xpadneo without setting up a new Machine Owner Key
2. Connect gamepad to computer
3. Gamepad connects but doesn't rumble, and button inputs don't get a response.
## Expected Behavior
I expected the gamepad to rumble upon connecting and that I'd be able to use it afterwards.
## System Information

```console
# xxd -c20 -g1 /sys/module/hid_xpadneo/drivers/hid:xpadneo/0005:045E:*/report_descriptor | tee >(cksum)
xxd: /sys/module/hid_xpadneo/drivers/hid:xpadneo/0005:045E:*/report_descriptor: No such file or directory
```
After I shared the info they asked, they had this to say:
So your problem is with module signing. You need to ask your distribution how to properly setup module signing with DKMS, or turning the feature off. We cannot provide valid private keys for your distribution.
How do I set up module signing/turn it off?
