usb 1-1: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 1-1: New USB device found, idVendor=045e, idProduct=028e, bcdDevice= 1.14 usb 1-1: new full-speed USB device number 7 using xhci_hcd Kernel log shows the controller is detected: The light on the controller - top left side of the ring - blinks then lights up steady. I hope it helps to give a reference, connecting now:ฤก.
I use simply Arch btw, I have no drivers installed manually for controllers. To be fair I never used a controller on Linux but I can tell you what happens if I try to plug my wired USB Microsoft XBOX 360 controller. Also sorry if this belongs in troubleshooting instead, I flipped a coin between the two. If you need any more info, please let me know.
Also bonus points if you know how to fix the clock issue, though it doesn't matter too much to me. I'm open to try everything you can think of. Right now I don't know where to go, I figured controllers should just be plug-n-play. I've changed the USB port to see if it was something wrong with the USB controller, but still no fix. I tried installing the xboxdrv drivers as recommended by the Arch-Wiki, but that didn't seem to fix anything. I thought it might have been an issue with a controller, so I swapped over to a wired Xbox 360 controller I had in a drawer, but when plugged in the lights would just keep flashing and wouldn't be detected in game.
The game launched fine, but my controller (Xbox One S connected over USB) wouldn't be detected, as in no lights on the controller. That was until I tried playing a controller-based game (specifically Arkham Asylum). Most things are running fine, games are launching through proton with little to no issues, and the only thing that's somewhat broken is the system clock, which for some reason decided that UTC time was my local time and then put it through a timezone to make it 4 hours behind real time (one issue at a time).
To make things interesting, I'm trying to see if I can transition to Linux full time on it, mostly to see if I can. For background: I'm redoing the water cooling in my main machine, so I've transitioned over to my secondary computer for everything I need to do.
