I’ve been using an Xbox One controller with a dongle on my OG Framework laptop running Nobara (GNOME edition) for a number of years with no issues. After a recent system update, now connecting the controller causes freezes.

If I’m in a game (the game I’m playing is Assassin’s Creed Rogue), then it freezes the game but I do seem to be able to get out of it so it doesn’t seem to be a kernel panic.

If it’s still connected when restarting, it will freeze at the login screen and I have to restart.

The system is up to date, and as part of trying to fix this I’ve updated the driver to this one, as the previous one doesn’t seem to be maintained anymore.

Any tips on trouble shooting this further?

    I had issues with xone recently, using the same fork as you. The cause ended up being that i had multiple instances of the dkms module installed, i never removed their files from my source folder after uninstalling them.

    So after a system update, they’d all install at once. Including the abandoned version of it.

    This was on an arch based system though. I’m not familiar with nobara enough to know if this is helpful for you.

      Thanks, I think I only have one version installed as I should see a second here?

      $ dkms status
xone/0.4.5, 6.16.8-200.nobara.fc42.x86_64, x86_64: installed

        Does it work that way? Or do you have to make sure there’s not the files hanging in a folder somewhere?

      Lol I already had that installed as per my OP, but I don’t think I restarted afterwards. Must have had the right version installed but the wrong version loaded, as after restarting I think this is fixed. Thanks for confirming it works for you, it seems to have worked for me too!
