Comment 7 for bug 365435

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.
