Cannot use xboxdrv #26

Closed Xzereus closed 9 years ago

Xzereus commented 9 years ago

Ubuntu 12.10, just installed latest xboxdrv, so it should be up to date.

When attempting the command sudo xboxdrv, I get the following:

If you installed the package ubuntu-xboxdrv, you don't need to start xboxdrv: a service is created and automatically started. Just plug/pair your controller.

If you want to use xpad module, remove this package completely: sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-xboxdrv.

I had the same problem and turns out I had an utility called ubuntu-xboxdrv installed alongside the normal xboxdrv, which was the source of the problem. I completely removed ubuntu-xboxdrv and reinstalled xboxdrv and that solved the problem.

(I also didn't even have xpad installed, and of course xboxdrv --detach-kernel-driver did nothing.)
