Hello fellow Linux gamers!
I’ve recently switched to nobara for gaming. I’ve had no real issues so far and it’s all running smoothly! Queue my Xbox controller.
A year or two ago I bought an Xbox wireless control ( 2020 version according to the order ). Now I wanted to use the controller, but it is not being detected. The light keeps blinking. On nobara itself it looks like it mounted the dongle as a USB Stick.
That would explain why the controller isn’t connecting.
How would I best go at tackling this? Any tips? I’ve already ran the following command:
nobara-controller-config
This installed some drivers and required a reboot ( which I did ).
Thanks in advance for any guidance or tips!
The Nobara-controller-config command is the is way to install it as far as I can tell by the docs. I’ll try reinstalling it that way and see if it recognises it by default.
I agree that the package manager way is the preferred way to go. I fell back to the github repo because it didn’t work :)
Probably need to uninstall the xone driver you already installed from that link. Then open the welcome screen again (super key + type welcome, should be there) and there’s an option to install the xone and xpadneo drivers already setup for nobara on one of the tabs there.
Yeah I didn’t reply anymore, but I did an uninstall, removed the dongle, rebooted, reinstalled it, rebooted, plugged in the dongle and it instantly worked.
I must’ve done something wrong the first time #pebcak
