If you don't know or are not sure, just enter it anyway and the system checks for a version to update only, if you have it already.įurther information to install the hardware you find at Microsoft's support here: Install git and dkms if you haven't got it by entering: sudo apt-get install git dkms By the time of writing it goes like this: Install the Linux Kernel Driver for the Xbox/ Xbox 360/ Xbox One Controllersįollow the installation instructions there. All the gamepads worked perfectly as it should have been with all the games I tried. So here is the solution using xpad that made all the magic happen just by installing it.
#XBOX 360 WIRELESS RECEIVER DRIVER LINUX HOW TO#
All buttons worked with xboxdrv, but the configuration mixed up the axis of the right stick and the right bumper and I couldn’t figure out how to solve it. Valve contributed a lot to linux gaming since then. I tried every solution with xboxdrv then, that I could find on the net, but it’s just too old now. Valkyria Chronicles played well, in Grand Theft Auto V only the camera worked (unplayable) and in Project Cars 2 I was able to assign the basic controls to buttons that worked, but it was almost unplayable. Problems arrived in Steam and Steam Play, for native Linux games as well as Windows games though Steam Play (Valve's Wine adaption inside steam). Just after installing Kubuntu 18.04 LTS (or Ubuntu 18.04 LTS for that matter), I’ve first tried to use my Xbox360 Wireless Controller gamepads and it worked out of the box with the default kernel driver version of xpad, but only in some games, where the analog bumpers (LB and RB) where not needed. The last Ubuntu LTS it was working perfectly for me was 14.04, just with installing the PPA.


This solution works for Xbox and Xbox One Controllers too.Īs drivers, I've used xboxdrv and xpad before on my notebook (from Ubuntu LTS-Versions 12.04 until 18.04), but xboxdrv failed to be fully recognised with some games on my new PC with a fresh Kubuntu 18.04 LTS installed, because xboxdrv it is unmaintained now (since about 2 years). This solution took me some time to figure out and it might be not the final solution to issues with gamepads in Linux, but these controllers are some of the most supported gamespads in the Linux world and a standard in PC gaming for game developers since their introduction in 2005 until today. I'm using the Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless (Gaming) Receiver for Windows in Ubuntu Linux together with multiple “Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller” gamepads for single or multiplayer games with up to 4 controllers simulatiously.
