LilyPad config dialog won't open

[majewsky]

PCSX2 version: v1.5.0-dev-2217-gb31c23b37b on Linux

Plugins used: LilyPad 0.12.1

Description of the issue: I cannot access the LilyPad settings. When I select "Plugin Settings" from the Config menu, or "Configure" in the plugin selector, no dialog appears. The only thing that happens is that, when I try it for the first time, a bunch of diagnostics is printed into the log window about which devices it has detected (see below).

Last known version to work: No idea. My distribution has 1.4.0, where it doesn't work either. I also tried to compile the v1.4.0 tag in order to start a bisection, but it's too old; I cannot get it to compile with my current set of system libraries.

The gamepad I'm trying to use is a Steam Controller, using the gamepad emulation provided by https://github.com/ynsta/steamcontroller. My desktop is KDE Plasma 5.11.3 running on Xorg 1.19.5 with the only input driver being xf86-input-libinput 0.26.0 using libinput 1.9.1.

The log shows the following when I first try to open the LilyPad config dialog:

This only appeared after I added my user to the input group in order to gain access to /dev/input/event*, after seeing in strace that LilyPad tried to open these upon initialization.

Lilypad was written for windows and to the present day doesn't have a configuration dialog (I.e. You need to adjust the settings manually in the ini). With other words lilypad on Linux is rather for debugging purposes. Can you just use the other plugin that is shipped?

[Azelphur]

Hope it's ok to reopen this - but using OnePad isn't really a good alternative, it lacks features that Lillypad has, such as multitap, preventing Linux users from playing games with more than two players.

[MrCK1]

It would probably be better to make a new report requesting those features in Lilypad.

[Azelphur]

@MrCK1 should I create a report requesting that the lillypad GUI be fixed in Linux, or a report requesting that onepad be upgraded to support multitap?
