Reboot, re-link controller, switch off controller, switch it back on, and the light no longer blinks. These are the steps I took running Kubuntu 14.10.
I have noticed that the light continues to blink straight after linking, the power toggle of the controller fixed the light blinking.
Just wanted to post this here for those using 14.10 or 15.04 and so on.
Download the pre-built deb from here https:/ /launchpad. net/~mdeslaur/ +archive/ ubuntu/ steamos/ +files/ steamos- xpad-dkms_ 0.3-0md0. 14.04.2_ all.deb
sudo dpkg -i steamos- xpad-dkms_ 0.3-0md0. 14.04.2_ all.deb
