Xbox 360 controller doesn't work in Ubuntu 18.10 anymore

Thank you for your bug report, that doesn't seem an issue with the nautilus filemanager though? Reassigning to linux

In fact that redhat bug states it's an issue with fwupd, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1647269

Could be that commit
https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/commit/76bdc8c3

Test that's proper fix, been backported to 1_1_X.

I am still not able to see my XBOX controller in fs-uae.
I use fwupd 1.1.2-1 on Ubuntu 18.10.

The controller is a Speedlink Strike NX which was displayed as XBox controller in fs-uae before I upgraded from 18.04 to 18.10.

Is there a information I could provide to get it working ?

For now you can do one of three things:

1) mask the fwupd systemd service if you don't use it for anything. This will stop it from running.
2) Modify the plugin blacklist in /etc/fwupd/daemon.conf to blacklist the ebitdo plugin
3) Backport that fix manually https://github.com/hughsie/fwupd/commit/76bdc8c3

I blacklisted the plugin (method 2), the syslog messages are different but the result is the same. The Speedlink is not visible.

I also tried to find the file plugins/ebitdo/ebitdo.quirk but I was not able to find the file.

Maybe I missinterpredit the error completely wrong and this has nothing to do with the speedlink strike NX but for me it looks like that this device announce itself as a xbox

Closing the bug for the current serie since the new version with that commit is there, a SRU with the patch has also been uploaded to the SRU queue for 18.10 (it might take some days before it gets reviewed/accepted)

Hi,

I installed fwupd-signed from cosmic-proposed.

Played a game that requires controller and it works.

When unplugging xbox 360 controller, dmesg gives this message:

xpad 8-2:1.0: xpad_try_sending_next_out_packet - usb_submit_urb failed with result -19

That looks like a pass to me, thanks!

Confirmed fixed, with fwupd-signed 1.2.0ubuntu0.1+1.1.2-1ubuntu0.18.10.1

This bug was fixed in the package fwupd - 1.1.2-1ubuntu0.18.10.1
