I got an Xbox One S controller as a gift for Christmas and I found out that it can connect to a PC with Bluetooth. It's supposed to work on Windows 10 but it doesn't work on my Ubuntu PC. It shows up as an option in the Bluetooth settings but when I connect to it it just instantly loses connection. How can I use the controller via Bluetooth on my Ubuntu 17.10 PC? I would like to use it for emulators and maybe even Steam games.

I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04 and I downloaded a game from GOG called Transistor. I bought a wireless Xbox One controller to play just this kind of game. From what I could find out, wireless isn't supported on Ubuntu for this controller yet so I plugged it in using a [known working] micro-usb > usb adapter.   I have successfully installed the game. I can play it with my keyboard/mouse. Clicking on the controller icon in the game settings does nothing. I have installed "Ubuntu xboxdrv integration" and now have a joystick option in my settings menu. It lists four 360 controllers and none of them respond to input from the controller. When I type lsusb it lists "Microsoft" as one of the things connected. I disconnected the controller and the entry goes away so I know the controller is being seen by the system. When I plug it in it rumbles for a moment. If I press the "X" (connect) button it flashes for almost 30 seconds.   As I understand, wired, even the Xbox One controller, is compatible out of the box with newer versions of Ubuntu. Can anyone tell me what I'm not doing or where to start looking? I'm assuming a newish kernel was installed with the OS.  I typed lsmod and there is no ubuntu-xboxdrv or xboxdrv or even xpad in the list. I typed insmod ubuntu-xboxdrv into terminal and was told it couldn't load because there's no file or directory. Typing modprobe ubuntu-xboxdrv also said it couldn't find it. (I also tried xboxdrv for both.)  As far as I can tell, it not being a loaded mod is the number one culprit. How do I see if ubuntu-xboxdrv is even the name of the mod? I checked that the install went through by reinstalling. How do I find where it went?

When I get my next laptop I'm thinking of completely ditching Windows and installing Ubuntu 20.04 onto a Lenovo ThinkPad E15. Based on some googling, it looks like 20.04 will run fine on this laptop. That sound right? In particular, I'd like to confirm (if possible) that the Bluetooth stack in 20.04 will work well on this particular laptop. Any feedback appreciated. Thanks.   I’d hate to get the new laptop, install 20.04 and discover that the 20.04 Bluetooth stack does not work with this laptop. I want to connect my Sony WH-1000XM3 bluetooth headphones to the laptop. Thanks.

I need a PCI wireless adapter that works well with Ubuntu 12.04. I have looked around on the web but a lot of the information is out-of-date or confusing. Could someone point me to a wireless PCI adapter on Newegg or Amazon that they know works well with Ubuntu 12.04? I would really appreciate it.

I was playing my PS4 two days ago and then packed it up with two controllers that were both connected to this PS4.   I got to where I was going, set everything up and now the controllers won't connect. They show pulsing orange when they plug in, but when I hit the PS Button to connect, it blinks white 1-2 times and goes back to orange.   I have tried resetting them both.  Can anyone help?

Is there a way to use  like HESOYAM on GTA San Andreas for iOS directly in the UI, without copying saved files?  Update: Using a bluetooth keyboard doesn't work either.

I use a ASUS N550JV laptop with Ubuntu 14.04 and Windows 8 dual boot. The Bluetooth module is atheros ar3012. Since the day Ubuntu is installed, the behavior of Bluetooth and speaker is weird. They are not totally dead. They sometimes work, but I find no pattern about when they  work and when they don't. Sometimes Bluetooth works right after start up. In other time, the Bluetooth icon does not show up in menu bar (I have "Show Bluetooth status shown in menu bar" checked in settings). When I enter settings, Bluetooth is shown to be off. Even though I can set it to On by clicking it, the device menu below still shows "Bluetooth is disabled" and I cannot search and add device (I use a Bluetooth mouse). Also, if I close the settings and open it again, Bluetooth will be set to off again. The same is with the speaker. Sometimes it works right after startup but sometimes it just refuse to work. I am so confused. Could anyone  tell me how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.  P.S. Every time I start up, at the page where I enter my password to log in, it always pops up a window titled "Authentication required by Wi-Fi network" and asks me for wifi password. But even if I type in the password, the connect button is still grayed out. Does this has anything to do with the problems above?  Edit: I checked /var/log/dmesg and the error about bluetooth is as follow:     [    5.032070] Bluetooth: Error in firmware loading err = -110,len = 448, size = 1184   [    5.032126] Bluetooth: Loading sysconfig file failed   [    5.032166] ath3k: probe of 3-5:1.0 failed with error -110

So far I have been doing projects with Arduino, RPi, ATtiny etc. But now I have project in mind where these things doesnt seem to suit. I need your help.  OK, now on the project:  I have a file on my android device (an image and a .ppt file). I want to transfer it to a SD card wirelessly (bluetooth or WiFi). I will be providing a USB port to access the data in SD card.  Now, I want to assemble/make all the electronics required around the SD card.   (Q1) Which one to choose Bluetooth or WiFi (my requirement is only short range, no internet involved) I want to know what Bluetooth module should I use (I have read that the HC06 is for SPP and I cannot transfer whole .ppt and do a FTP on that). (Q2) I don't want to use RPi or any ready made development board, I want to make my own minimum development board. Will this be possible using STM32F103 and do the Bluetooth transfer, if not which platform should I choose and how to make my own dev board?  (Q3) Is there a specific bluetooth module for FTP? Or any bluetooth module can be used for FTP.. Because when i see the modules they are specified as being Serial.  Please get me started on this. My question might be incomplete, please ask if any information required. (Please note: I had asked this question else where but I have tried to elaborate the question here, I have deleted the earlier question).

I use MobaXterm on my windows PC to connect to an Ubuntu 16.04 machine. I worked well until recently I found that SFTP is not working, so my MobaXterm sftp pane is disappear. To make sure that is not MobaXterm issue, I also download FileZilla to test SFTP, not working either. Also, I tried to use VSCode on my windows PC with extension &quot;Remote-SSH&quot; to connect to my Ubuntu machine, but it keeps showing this error:  I am not sure if these connection problems I mentioned above are came from after  I installed zsh on my Ubuntu machine, I installed XRDP but uninstall after.  Any help I would be very appreciate.

I just succesfully installed my printer driver. My printer is Brother MFC 255 CW. It works fine when I connected thorugh USB cable.  Then I tried to figure out how to connect using the wireless connection from the printer. Somehow ubuntu can't detect the printer signal.  This is so far the way what I did to try getting the printer connect to my laptop:   System setting Printer Add Printer Network Printer Appsocket/HP Jet Direct, then set the host with the IP address that the printer provided and port number: 9100 selecting the drive / installation after the additional installation finish I tried to print test page and nothing happen.   Is there any other way to figure out how to make the wireless working? Or maybe I did something wrong on the process...Please guys help me out......

I recently got a lenovo Y40 laptop and after i installed ubuntu 14.04 (also in the live usb) Wireless doesn't work.

Hi my problem is exactly as the title says, Im planning to buy a bluetooth(4.0) dongle so I could use my  again. But to play it safe, I need to know first if it would realy work before going to the store.   And I'd like to know if there are disadvantages from using bluetooth as a reciever. like if there are delayed button response or smaller signal radius or frequent unresponsiveness.  Thank you.

I recently bought a Wired Xbox 360 controller from Ebay, and I'm trying to figure out whether it's counterfeit.  It's two-tone black and gray, which  means it's probably the Elite edition of the controller.  Here's what makes me suspicous:   There's no breakaway cable near the USB port (Microsoft's term is ), the cable is one piece from controller to USB port The cord is about 7 feet long The hologram sticker on the back says "Microsoft" but doesn't have the real Microsoft logo, there's no slice taken out of the "o" in "Micro"   Here's a number of details that are correct, as far as I can tell:   The "Microsoft" logo etched on the top of the controller is correct, it has the split "o" and connected "ft" It seems to work correctly when plugged into my computer The front of the controller matches  exactly At the USB end of the cord, the grey wider plastic piece you're intended to pull on has the little nub on top. (You can see what I'm talking about in , the nub is to the left of and below the first "w" in the watermark)   I know pictures would probably be helpful, I'll work on taking some.

I have an bluetooth headset connected to my computer, the buttons play/pause/volume are working fine, but I have no sound in the headset, but in the speaker of the computer.   In fact, I played with the sound settings of my headset in the sound settings of Ubuntu, and after choosing "switch off", the headset did "disappear" from the settings.   My question is: how can I make it appear there again, to be able to hear the sound via the headset? Thank you all for your help!

I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04.3 on my laptop, which is also running Windows 10. The install was successful and during the process I was able to connect to my wifi network with no issues (I can still do so when using Windows) - but now I can't see any networks at all when trying to select one. I can use a wired connection.

As most of you know, in the Microsoft Store, there are . This means that on Windows I can emulate Ubuntu and have the Ubuntu command line directly on Windows.  The question is very easy: what can’t I do from the Ubuntu command line emulated in Windows that I can do on a proper Linux-based Ubuntu? Is it useful to download this Ubuntu application, install it, and work just with it instead of the real OS? Is it possible to install all the development libraries? Can I write (or not) device drivers? In other words: what are the limits?  What features of Ubuntu Linux-based are missing from Ubuntu-on-Windows?  New answers are welcome: I know that every software is always changing by improving characteristics and features!
