9 years ago I DID IT! typed from the linux partition Unnecessarily proud right now, but very very very necessarily proud of the fantastic community here.
For those of you interested in how this tale was resolved, the final steps that seemed to do it were: I entered chroot to remove/purge xboxdrv Tried deleting chroot to no avail Ran the update one more time just to be safe and then it ran perfectly
Needless to say xboxdrv is staying firmly uninstalled!

Good morning/afternoon/evening,
To be safe here's my whole output following the 'common issues' checklist:

As a brief background into what I'd just done on my linux side. First I had a system update which I ran and then in order to run steam did the following...
I'd just followed the instructions on - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingCompilers and had run the following commands:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install build-essential gcc -v make -v sudo apt-get install libc6-dev sudo apt-get install g++-multilib sudo apt-get install ia32-libs
Then did a fresh install of steam, and then to get controller support, followed the instructions here: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2014/06/ubuntu-xbox-controller-support-xboxdrv-driver
and ran the following: sudo apt-add-repository ppa:rael-gc/ubuntu-xboxdrv sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ubuntu-xboxdrv
All was hunky dory until I clicked out of a window and then linux partition became unresponsive so I restarted the computer, and now I can't access any more.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Will
