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!

    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
