        Hi Everyone,

        When I plug a G-LAB game controller, Ubuntu restarts or shuts down.

        I tried plugging a keyboard or a mouse and they work perfectly.

          @embeddedmz Hi! by the time you did not get a anwser? I would like to play but cannot use my xbox controller. I can connect it but not use it! Any anwser would be great!

            I guess it is not supported yet because when I connect my bluetooth controller, it is describe as other! (Catégorie Autre (in french))

              @Ottis What games are you going to play anyway? Sadly game controller support isn't good yet. Last time I tried, there are weird issues like the joystick moving the mouse instead.

                @kugiigi Some emulator like: xemu, Nestopia, Dolphin, Gearboy color, psxr and so on! I prefer playing with a controller.

                  @Ottis Where would you play them? IIRC, I got mine work on Waydroid with Steam remote play.

                    You can find some native emulators on UT.

                        I was able to set xemu to work but could not play much on it. I was wondering if I missed a step because UT is the only xbox capable os. The open source give us some freedom. just see this you'll understand!

                          @Keneda I know. I made the UI of one of them 😛
                          But he mentioned emulators that I've never heard of running on UT.
                          In any case, I think the problem is that xinput/dinput are both not supported yet. Gearboy uses keyboard input for the controls.

                            @kugiigi Nice to know👍 I'm more a gamepad player than a keyboard yet, I hope to be good one day maybe! ✌

                              At first I tried by terminal the dépendency but it was the os. Even Gearboy color cant use of the controller option it has. Or it can be possible somehow?
