XBox One Controller Stopped Working

Post by TheTubaGeek »

My XBox One S controller was working for some time until I had to reboot my computer. Now, I cannot get it detected no matter how hard I try.

I have xboxdrv installed as well as jstest-gtk. When I pull up jstest, the window shows no devices installed.

Below are the results of my lsusb command:

Code: Select all

As you can see, the device is listed, but it's not being picked up by jstest or Steam.

Here is the lsusb -v for the controller:

The device is connected to my USB port and is currently powered on. Is there something I need to input to force it to be recognized? I have tried to setup/enable the service for xboxdrv but I get the following error when I try to do that:

Code: Select all

Failed to enable unit: Unit file xboxdrv.service does not exist.
Any assistance you can provide would be greatly appreciated. I'd love to get back to playing my games on Steam :)
