Controller and Bluetooth Information

N/A, issue is about installation

Additional Context

It appears this issue was also reported by another user on the AUR in January: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xpadneo-dkms

Turns out installing linux-headers beforehand resolved the issue. Closing.

kakra commented 1 year ago

Thanks. We should add that to the documentation, re-opened.

TiagodePAlves commented 1 year ago

I've updated the PKGBUILD on AUR with a warning pointing to the Arch Wiki on DKMS if the Linux headers can't be found for the current running kernel (uname -r). The warning will probably trigger if the package is installed or updated after a kernel update, but before the computer reboots, so it isn't fail-proof. Hope it helps to avoid these errors in the future, though.

Don't know if this info is even needed. But i just ran into the same issue when installing via pamac (manjaro) installation went through.. so i thought it should work. Controller paired just fine.. but no input was detected afterwards. After installing headers first and then xpadneo it worked.

kakra commented 4 months ago

I just verified this: Our README already points out that Arch requires linux-headers to be installed. It seems to be a general special behavior of distributions that DKMS packages do not automatically depend on the required kernel headers.

Arch documents this in its wiki, and we document the kernel header dependencies. Closing.
