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!

      Those are the steps I took as described in the README.md. Nobara added a custom command called nobara-controller-config which installs the xone drivers. I guess something must have gone wrong there that the dongle firmware was missing. https://nobaraproject.org/docs/xbox-controllers/known-issues/

      I might have just missed it.

      Running the third step of the README.md leaves me with this output:

      sudo ./install.sh 
Driver is already installed!

      I assume there is no xone-get-firmware.sh file in the xone directory as a result.

      All is well that ends well :)
