xbox 360 wireless controller acts like curser or mouse.

[Dr. Clock]

First off go here to see how the code for how someone made code to make the xbox 360 wireless controller work:

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=570642&page=7

I am the Dr. Clock as shown on that thread, and organized how to make it work,

but for some reason although it works on Ubuntu Hardy Heron,

it doesn't work on Ubuntu Intrepid and the Ubuntu Beta of Jaunty.

Instead the xbox 360 wireless controller acts like the mouse, but will only go the full circle of the screen

and not into the corners of the screen.

Here are some more links on this bug:

http://<email address hidden>/msg1051330.html

I understand if you guys can't get it fixed before Jaunty is released,

but it would be nice if when you guys fix it to put that in an update.

I am sorry and just don't know enough to help you out on this,

I've never even filed a bug report before, but I am sure this is something a lot of people will want fixed,

but what ever. Thank god I have Ubuntu Hardy Heron on CD,

I may never upgrade from Hardy Heron.

O, well, take care.

using the link like I had shown before Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty works

with the Xbox 360 Wireless Controller, but I don't know if Intrepid work for it,

and since I was wanting to stay upgraded I don't really care to know.

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Is this bug reproducible with the latest Lucid packages ?
Tanks in advance.

[Dr. Clock (alittleknowhow)]

Wow, thank you for responding. After trying to get this to work with Lucid I
think I want to switch back to Hardy Heron, but Firefox keeps crashing with
the package needed to have sound when playing videos from the Internet like
youtube, so I may switch back to Hardy Heron and use Opera if this doesn't
work.

This all works with* Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope*, so maybe I should
downgrade to that.

I don't know, with Ubuntu Lucid Lynx I couldn't get this installed:
sudo apt-get install jscalibrator libgii1 libjsw2

After trying what I did below jscalibrator is installed but the driver now
doesn't work with it for what ever reason I don't know because I am a
beginner, at the bottom of my message here I am going to post what happens
when I try to make the driver.

jscalibrator isn't how do I say on the list of things installable through
synaptic package manager, so I took a hard drive and installed Ubuntu Hardy
Heron on it and I was able to get jscalibrator working on Hardy Heron with
the Xbox 360 wireless controller like before, so I took what was in
/var/cache/apt/archives after I had cleaned it out and took it to Lucid and
just installed it, but(I am still a beginner)(note I am using the driver
that Nicole posted here:
http://wwww.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=570642&page=1

Anyways here is what happens when I try to make the driver:

Hello Dr.Clock
have you tried installing joystick from synaptic ?

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

The most uodated packaged is that from Jaunty:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/jscalibrator

[Dr. Clock (alittleknowhow)]

have you tried installing joystick from synaptic ?

I thought I did and it was command based, so I can't answer that question and I will search synaptic package manager for joystick and try what ever there is.

The link for your last post didn't work for me, it brings me to a blank screen and Google says done on the bottom bar. Yes I know Jaunty is more up to date then Hardy Heron, so maybe I should have tried getting deb files from Jaunty rather then Hardy Heron, your right. I was however able to get the dependencies worked out, but it must be the driver I think that is the problem. Maybe I should ask someone so rewrite the driver that Nicole posted.

Anyways here the response I sent to you through email:
After installing Hardy Heron and installing the macromedia plugin firefox doesn't seem to be crashing anymore, I think it must be the install I have on the other hard drive, either way I may just switch back to Hardy Heron completely. As for the xbox 360 wireless controller driver and things that need to be configured right, I will gladly try to give you feed back and keep an install of Ubuntu Lucid Lynx on a hard drive until it is fixed, because I would rather be upgraded then downgraded.

Maybe there's a why the driver that was on that thread could be added to the Ubuntu packages and so forth, then all we would want is the blinking lights on the Xbox 360 wireless controller driver fixed. I really don't and shouldn't expect so much, as I don't know if all that is legal and for the reason that I know people are busy, so, I would be grateful for any help, but I have very limited knowledge as I am a beginner really, I've only been using Linux since I was using Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbons. Even if I have been using Linux for years and years doesn't mean that I could fix this. I can take commands and post back to you the output.

I will be back when I can respond to at least one of your postings here.

ray@ray-desktop:~$ jscal -c
jscal: missing devicename
ray@ray-desktop:~$

I found this link:
http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/132/

someone who said he got his joystick(he didn't say xbox 360 wireless controller and usb Microsoft wireless reciever) said this:
9: run my program, find its process ID, then run "lsof -p " to get it's list of open file descriptors, and find one called "/dev/input/js0"

What program is he talking about(LOL), what command do I use to find the path or ID for my xbox 360 wireless controller and usb Microsoft wireless reciever?

ray@ray-desktop:~$ lsusb
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 045e:0719 Microsoft Corp.
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
ray@ray-desktop:~$

I would only be guessing that Bus 004 Device 002: ID 045e:0719 Microsoft Corp.
might be my controller, but I tried:
jscal -c 045e:0719 Microsoft Corp.
jscal -c ID 045e:0719 Microsoft Corp.
and so forth which I am gussing really isn't what I am looking for because after reading around the internet people always give a path like /dev/input/js0 or dev/input/event0 or dev/inputevent so and so number,
so I tried:
ray@ray-desktop:~$ jscal -c /dev/input/js0
jscal: can't open joystick device: No such file or directory
ray@ray-desktop:~$

I tried:
ray@ray-desktop:~$ jscal -c dev/input/event0
jscal: can't open joystick device: No such file or directory
ray@ray-desktop:~$

ray@ray-desktop:~$ jscal -c dev/input/event1
jscal: can't open joystick device: No such file or directory
ray@ray-desktop:~$ jscal -c dev/input/event2
jscal: can't open joystick device: No such file or directory
ray@ray-desktop:~$ jscal -c dev/input/event3
jscal: can't open joystick device: No such file or directory
ray@ray-desktop:~$ jscal -c dev/input/event4
jscal: can't open joystick device: No such file or directory
ray@ray-desktop:~$ jscal -c dev/input/event5
jscal: can't open joystick device: No such file or directory
ray@ray-desktop:~$

The directory /dev/input/ has event0 through event5
and also mice, mouse0 and mouse1

I am clueless,
there is this but I don't think it will help(I have listed only what is called usb controller):

[Dr. Clock (alittleknowhow)]

Disregard this(I have listed only what is called usb controller) as I decided to list all of what was shown with the command lspci.

I tried installing X.Org X server -- joystick input driver, but I can't run these packages because I need to know the path for the devicename or something like that.

Someone else suggested something about replacing libcanberra-gtk-module.so in Jaunty, so I don't know.

Anyhow I have some other crazy ideas, but I don't what will work, if not I will try the deb packages from Jaunty.

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

I missed you.
libcanberra.so is a file generated by libcanberra package.
Then from synaptic install libcanberra or licanberra -dev,
:)Fabio

[Dr. Clock (alittleknowhow)]

Sorry, I started over from scratch, I am currently on Jaunty and am going to get the deb packages, but it will be a little while since I am going to update first, then
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential automake1

then erase the /var/cache/aptarchives using this command like before sudo apt-get clean,

then
sudo apt-get install jscalibrator libgii1 libjsw2

then get the deb packages, then when I am on Ubuntu Lucid Lynx I will update first,
then sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential automake1
then install the deb packages in what ever order they decide to be installed, then
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential automake1
that is how I got the dependences to work with it last time, once I am there again I will tell you what's up.

If my procedure here is wrong then let me know?

I was having trouble with Ubuntu Lucid Lynx anyways, then I tried installing Jaunty and the grub died, so I used DBAN from Hirens Boot CD 10.6 to clean this new hard drive, then I just installed Jaunty. I am thinking I should re-download and burn Lucid Lynx even though the when I boot the boot menu and have it check the CD for defects it says there are no problems, be when I boot into the Live Ubuntu desktop it says:

"The installer encountered an unrecoverable error. A desktop session will now be run so that you may investigate the problem or try installing again." If you encounter this error, restart your computer with the CD inserted, press any key at the splash screen (when you see the keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen), and select "Try Ubuntu without installing". Once the desktop appears, use the "Install Ubuntu 10.04" icon to begin installing Ubuntu.

[Dr. Clock (alittleknowhow)]

Here is what is shown when making the driver in Jaunty if needed(it seems the controller is working in jscalibrator:

OK, now I will try it out and so forth, then I will change over to Ubuntu Lucid Lynx, maybe I should try and find the path for the controller and copy and for Ubuntu Lucid Lynx?, so I will and see what else I might need, any suggestions would be great before I decide to move on to Lucid Lynx?

OK, now what should I do before moving on?

Ahhha!

Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to load module "libcanberra-gtk-module.so": libcanberra-gtk-module.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
-d: Requires argument.

I guess that doesn't matter either, man what are we missing?

Anyways like I said I have everything under the path copied to try, but if there is anything else you can suggest?

I will compare what was shown when making the make files for Jaunty and Lucid to see if there is a difference......

I just copied the files under:
/lib/modules/2.6.32-24-generic/kernel/drivers/input/joystick/xpad.ko

there are 2 paths in Jaunty

the 2 kernels are:
2.6.28-19-generic
and
2.6.28-11-generic

[Dr. Clock (alittleknowhow)]

OK, now what?,

I don't know what the other 2 errors for Ubuntu Lucid Lynx are:
/home/ray/xpad360/xpad.c: In function ‘xpad_wireless_connect’:

/home/ray/xpad360/xpad.c:291: error: implicit declaration of function ‘info’

which I guess must be the driver's own problem I downloaded that Nicole posted.

I probably shouldn't move on to Lucid yet?

I don't if you will want what's in the xpad360 folder that is the make file for this, if so please tell me. Will I need to post the before and after of those text files that Nicole posted? There are 3 other make files, but I think I have only tested one other xpad360 driver that was posted and I haven't tried to see what the difference are, but I believe Contrast's Xpad360 Driver was the other one I had tried a few years ago with success with I think Hardy Heron(if not it was Gutsy Gibbons), the other 2 xpad360 drivers where posted by MattiViljanen and psoplayer which I have with me but I haven't tried those drivers either and I don't if they are the same or not.

I made the mistake of saying that the blinking lights are the only problem with the driver Nicole posted, R26Otacon said:
"I just installed Ubuntu 9.04(Upgraded from and now my xbox 360 controller is being picked up well.
the problem is my Right and Left triggers are being picked up as an axis instead of a button. I've scoured up and down the internet for fixes for this in ubuntu 9.04. I can only find solutions for other distro's and whatnot. If anyone could. would you mind helping me or just downright telling me How to have Ubuntu detect "RT" and "LT" as buttons and not axes? it really sucks not being able to use them. Thanks in advance for the help."

BigSilly was one of the people who responded(I am not wanting to leave out other peoples quotes, so I will post the link to these comments so you can read their comment if you want:
"Yeah it's the same with my 360 style pad on Windows. The sliders are actually on the same axis and cannot be set as buttons. I have only a handful of games I can successfully use the pad with - Sega Rally Revo, PES 2008, Burnout Paradise, Jade Empire...other games just don't recognise the triggers as buttons, and MAME certainly doesn't. You can use the pad otherwise, just not the sliders."

Here is that link:

[Dr. Clock (alittleknowhow)]

OK, now what do I need?

OK, I can attach the driver if you want, wow that will save me the time of posting that info here, unless you want what's in the xpad360 folder before and after it been made in the terminal?

Also I don't know which driver R26Otacon tried, maybe I should ask him, but he might have forgot which one he downloaded which is easy to forget. Either way it could be one of the 4 xpad360 drivers I have with me here, so I can try doing a clean install each time I test a driver for good measure, if he says he tried a driver that I don't have here then hopefully I can download the driver he is using.

[Dr. Clock (alittleknowhow)]

Sorry if any of my typings are incomplete, thank god for copy and pasting, it's just the parts I've have typed out that have flaws here and there, but for the most part the important part of it seem correct. I am on coffee and I am running in circles right now, LOL. It's too bad I can't edit any of what I have already posted, O well.

[Dr. Clock (alittleknowhow)]

OK, I am on another hard drive which has Hardy Heron installed, a few things have come to my attention, after the xpad360 folders have been made in the terminal, I noticed that in Hardy Heron there are 5 other text like looking file, only one of which I can open as text, here is what's in that text which is called:xpad.mod.c:

Thing are different in path /dev/input a little but seem to be simular anyways, for instance:

Also ZSNES says the device name as it is in jscalibrator:
Device 0 Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller (PC)
  14 axis, 17 buttons, 0 hats, 0 balls
Device 1 Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller (PC)
  14 axis, 17 buttons, 0 hats, 0 balls
Device 2 Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller (PC)
  14 axis, 17 buttons, 0 hats, 0 balls
Device 3 Microsoft Xbox 360 Wireless Controller (PC)
  14 axis, 17 buttons, 0 hats, 0 balls

that wasn't the full output for ZSNES as I know I have posted a lot on this launchpad, sorry about that.

So now what do I do before I move on to Ubuntu Lucid Lynx?
I will try to see if I can find more paths as to where the make file puts things in Hardy Heron, and Jaunty.

[Dr. Clock (alittleknowhow)]

Making the xpad360 driver in Hardy Heron:
I am sure you guys have a better idea of what's going on here, but I can guess:

ray@ray-desktop:~/xpad360$ make
make modules -C /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-28-generic SUBDIRS=/home/ray/xpad360
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-28-generic'
  CC [M] /home/ray/xpad360/xpad.o
  Building modules, stage 2.
  MODPOST 1 modules
  CC /home/ray/xpad360/xpad.mod.o
  LD [M] /home/ray/xpad360/xpad.ko
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-28-generic'
/////////////
I guess it makes the files
xpad.o
xpad.mod.o
and
xpad.ko
from the kernel from this path:
/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-28-generic

then the first time sudo rmmod xpad is used it deletes the module xpad from /proc/modules
I am guessing which may be why when that same command is used again it says that that module doesn't exist,

ray@ray-desktop:~/xpad360$ sudo rmmod xpad
[sudo] password for ray:

then I re-made again after which it copied xpad.ko to the path below:

ray@ray-desktop:~/xpad360$ sudo cp xpad.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/input/joystick

then depmod — program to generate modules.dep and map files. -a --all Probe all modules. This option is enabled by default if no file names are given in the command-line.

ray@ray-desktop:~/xpad360$ sudo depmod -a

then modprobe — program to add and remove modules from the Linux Kernel

ray@ray-desktop:~/xpad360$ sudo modprobe xpad
ray@ray-desktop:~/xpad360$

I am still uncertain what I may or may not need?

[Dr. Clock (alittleknowhow)]

Those were of coarse not commands I wrote, I was trying to interpret what those commands were doing.

OK, now that I am unsure what to post, I think maybe I will upload some attachments.
I will try to make it clear which path is for which attachment by posting one at a time.

Here is the xpad360 driver which I am using before I have messed with it at all(note I have only changed the make file to the kernel version I am running). I am first going to post the some files related to Hardy Heron, then I will switch back to Jaunty and post the some files from Jaunty. And what ever you ask. I don't have the deb packages I had got from Hardy Heron, and will post the deb packages I just got from Jaunty at some point.

Here is the xpad360 which I changed the Linux Kernel headers of for Hardy Heron, I am only going to post this once as that's the only difference with this xpad360 driver.

[Dr. Clock (alittleknowhow)]

This is that same xpad360 driver after it's been made in Hardy Heron.

[Dr. Clock (alittleknowhow)]

This is that same xpad360 driver after it's been made in Hardy Heron.

[Dr. Clock (alittleknowhow)]

Ooops double post, sorry.

OK, under this path is a bunch of files:
/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/kernel/drivers/input/joystick

the folder is called Joystick but I put the kernel version for it as I will the next folder,
so remember it is called joystick, not joystick 2.6.24-19-generic

[Dr. Clock (alittleknowhow)]

OK, under this path is a bunch of files like the last one:
/lib/modules/2.6.24-28-generic/kernel/drivers/input/joystick

remember I just changed the name for convenience, so it will need to be changed back to joystick

[Dr. Clock (alittleknowhow)]

This was under the path /proc

[Dr. Clock (alittleknowhow)]

Like I said I can attach what's under /dev/input/ as they are symbolic links.

[Dr. Clock (alittleknowhow)]

This is that same xpad360 driver after it's been made in Jaunty, not that I can tell any difference between these files and these files before they were made in the terminal, so maybe they aren't changed and instead they only change what's in the filesystem.

[Dr. Clock (alittleknowhow)]

What's under these 2 paths:
/lib/modules/2.6.28-11-generic/kernel/drivers/input/joystick
and
/lib/modules/2.6.28-19-generic/kernel/drivers/input/joystick

how I have these is a lot more convenient this.

These were in Jaunty.

[Dr. Clock (alittleknowhow)]

whats under proc in Jaunty

[Dr. Clock (alittleknowhow)]

All I can think that would be needed is the deb files, but instead I will post the names, I don't want to upload too much, and at that something that you already have. If needed let me know if I need to upload what ever it is that is needed.

OK here is the list of deb packages I haven't tried yet installing in Lucid, because I will be awaiting what I might need to do next, as I think I have searched pretty hard, but I know you guys know more then someone like me as this is what you guys do.

The list:
When I did this command:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential automake1.9

autoconf_2.63-2ubuntu1_all.deb
automake1.9_1.9.6+nogfdl-3ubuntu2.09.04_all.deb
autotools-dev_20080123.2_all.deb
build-essential_11.4_i386.deb
dpkg-dev_1.14.24ubuntu1.1_all.deb
g++_4%3a4.3.3-1ubuntu1_i386.deb
g++-4.3_4.3.3-5ubuntu4_i386.deb
libstdc++6-4.3-dev_4.3.3-5ubuntu4_i386.deb
m4_1.4.11-1_i386.deb

that list was only in case I needed them, but I didn't use this list of deb packages on Ubuntu Lucid, I just did the command:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential automake1.9

then I installed this list(NOTE THS LISTS I HAVE HERE ARE FROM JAUNTY, BEFORE I INSTALLED PACKAGES THAT WERE FROM HARDY HERON, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THESE PACKAGES WILL WORK WITH LUCID, BUT I AM GOING TO TRY)

Here is a list simular to the packages I used before, this list was downloaded using Jaunty, not Hardy Heron as I am trying to make that clear:

Using this command in Jaunty:
sudo apt-get install jscalibrator libgii1 libjsw2

These packages where installed:
jscalibrator_1%3a1.5.6-0ubuntu3_i386.deb
libgii1_1%3a1.0.2-4_i386.deb
libgii1-target-x_1%3a1.0.2-4_i386.deb
libglib1.2ldbl_1.2.10-19build1_i386.deb
libgtk1.2_1.2.10-18.1build2_i386.deb
libgtk1.2-common_1.2.10-18.1build2_all.deb
libjsw2_1%3a1.5.6-0ubuntu3_i386.deb

then like last time I will do this command again at some point, I think it was after everything, but I am not sure:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` build-essential automake1.9

once done jscalibrator will exist, but last time I did this the path was none existent as the drivers need to exist then the path needs to be pointed toward, but I don't know how to do this.

What do you think I might need to do now?

[Fabio Marconi (fabiomarconi)]

Sorry for the time that you have spent for a mine error.
I'm worry.
I've to close this bug because we don't support the custom driver xpad360.
You can try to report the issue to the xpad360 authors.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and trying to help make Ubuntu better. However, it seems that you are not using a software package provided by the official Ubuntu repositories. Because of this the Ubuntu project can not support or fix your particular bug. Please report this bug to the provider of the software package. Thanks!

If you are interested in learning more about software repositories and Ubuntu the following pages should be informative:

1. http://www.ubuntu.com/project/about-ubuntu/components - information about Ubuntu repositories
2. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - information regarding managing repositories

O my god!, I read somewhere that I could just plug in and use my
controller, so I installed Ubuntu Lucid Lynx, installed ZSNES and
configured my controller and started playing a ROM. I wonder which
distros of Ubuntu I can do this on.

This issue was fixed in the openstack/tacker 0.5.0 release.

[Dr. Clock (alittleknowhow)]

Yes, I know. In fact I was using Lucid Lynx which also works with the xbox
360 wireless receiver and controller. And the reason this happened with the
version of Ubuntu I was using at the time of writing this was when I had
moved on to Jaunty I didn't know not to install xpad360 or what ever file
that people were saying to install to get it to work, but I didn't know
that Jaunty actually didn't need xpad360 to be installed because it had it
setup to have the xbox 360 controller and wireless receiver work out of the
box which is why the xbox 360 controller and wireless receiver was acting
like the mouse because xpad360(what ever it was called) because i had
installed that. It was a temporary fix for xbox 360 controller and wireless
receiver for the Ubuntu version before Jaunty.

I never got around to testing to see if the xbox 360 controller and
wireless receiver worked out of the box, but I know it works with Lucid
Lynx:

Do you want me to make sure that Gutsy Gibbons, Jaunty, and Intrepid all
work with the xbox 360 controller and wireless receiver worked out of the
box?,
If so it will take some time, plus after the Ubuntu forums crisis I never
did try to log back into my Ubuntu forums Dr. Clock profile, so I don't
know if I can even edit that last comment, but I was really trying to help
people out even though I was a newbie, and I am somewhat proud of what I
was about to do even though it was so little, because I didn't know how to
fix the hard drive troubles I was having at the time and so forth.

Quote from me:
"I just found out that my xbox 360 wireless controller and receiver works
out of the box with Ubuntu Lucid Lynx, or at least it worked for me out of
the box. Of coarse for each emulator my controller will need to be
configured, but that's a given. Eventually I will test some Ubuntu distros
as to whether the usual xbox 360 wireless controller and receiver work out
of the box. These will be the Ubuntu distros I will eventually test my xbox
360 wireless controllers with:
Gutsy Gibbons, Jaunty, and Intrepid.

Ubuntu Hardy Heron doesn't work out of the box, so the downloadable driver
that Nicole posted at the beginnning of this thread will need to be
installed with Hardy Heron.

Ubuntu Lucid Lynx appears to working for my xbox 360 wireless controller
out of the box.

Also the blinking lights still blink, and I don't know if the triggers that
were said not to work work or not."

I also want to say that I don't want that comment removed. I think it was a
good comment.
