Ubuntu 20.04 and Windows 10 on Dual Boot: Xbox Controller with wireless adapter always needs pairing after using Ubuntu then going to Windows
Solution 1:
I experienced the same issue and I think I found a solution.
Here some friendly folks described how to disable usb devices on linux. So basically you have to:
- use
lsusbto list usb devices in terminal. - Identify the xbox dongle
- For me it was:
Bus 003 Device 007: ID 045e:02e6 Microsoft Corp. Wireless XBox Controller Dongle
- For me it was:
- create a file (e.g. my.rules) in /etc/udev/rules.d/
- add this line to the file:
ACTION=="add", ATTR{idVendor}=="045e", ATTR{idProduct}=="02e6", RUN="/bin/sh -c 'echo 0 >/sys/\$devpath/authorized'where the vendor id and product id correspond to the dongle's ID which we got from lsusb - reboot & pair the controller one last time in windows
After doing these steps I don't need to re-pair my controller between ubuntu & linux boots anymore.
