Gaming on ubuntu with Microsoft Xbox controller

  • Install driver: sudo apt-get install xboxdrv
  • Remove native driver: echo "blacklist xpad" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
  • Get the hardware id: hw_id=$(lsusb | grep Microsoft | awk '{print $6}')
  • extract vendor id: vendor=$(echo $hw_id | awk -F':' '{print $1}')
  • extract device id: device=$(echo $hw_id | awk -F':' '{print $2}')
  • add hardware to udev rules: echo "SUBSYSTEM==\"usb\", ACTION==\"add\", ATTRS{idVendor}==\"$vendor\", ATTRS{idProduct}==\"$device\", GROUP=\"plugdev\", MODE=\"660\"" | sudo tee -a /etc/udev/rules.d/51-xboxdrvRule.rules
  • allow non-sudo use: KERNEL=="uinput", MODE="0666"
  • update crontab to start driver: (crontab -l ; echo "@reboot /usr/bin/xboxdrv")| crontab -
  • reboot

Drive Partitioning

For the EFI mode, we recommend to create four different partitions:

  • EFI (UEFI bootloader)
  • / (EXT4 - Linux system)
  • /home (EXT4 - personal user data)
