Recommended reading (seriously whom ever wrote this how to is a god) In most situations it just takes a bit of trial and error with CLI options. So I know this is an old question but xboxdrv doesn't require you to recompile to get a xbox controller clone to work. To make starting it easier, try adding it as a shortcut with Alacarte. So it won't waste CPU printing all input events to the terminal. ,įrom a terminal, navigate to the extracted folder. Open it, and you will find a long list of entries like In the extracted folder, locate the file /src/xpad_device.cpp. Press the green Clone or Download button, then Download ZIP.Įxtract the downloaded file to an empty folder. You need to download, modify and then compile the newest version of xboxdrv. It seems at the moment that xboxdrv works best, but is not quite up to date on Ubuntu. Xpad and xboxdrv are not the same thing, they are two different approaches. Maybe your controller will respond, if you follow my steps, but maybe it won't. I have gotten to the point where my controller was recognised, but not responding to button-presses. I've noted with both that the program jstest-gtk recognizes the controller, even the brand (PowerA Spectra), but the controller simply continues to flash its LED light, and it remains unresponsive when I try to input controls. I've tried options of installing xpad-v0.4 and the steamos version. Please keep in mind that I am a novice: the more detail, the better. In general, where do files get saved when installing programs like these?.
#DRIVER CONTROLLER JOBS INSTALL#
This forum mentioned that I need to install a patch to xpad.c to make my controller work. I've installed the driver for xbox controllers using this forum here, but when I checked to see if it recognized my controller it gave me the following error:. This is largely due to my inexperience with Linux.
I've got this controller ("that I'm trying to get to work on Ubuntu, but its causing immense trouble.
