Why does my XBox 360 Controller not work with Ubuntu 18.04?
1
I have a gamepad Tronsmart Mars G02 which is connected to my laptop by USB transmitter.
Previously it worked without any problems on Ubuntu 16.04. But I replaced my HDD and installed Ubuntu 18.04 and now I cannot make gamepad working.
Here is a part of dmesg:

I tried to choose 12 and 14 but didn't receive any reaction on gamepad buttons pressing.
So, it seems like ubuntu sees my gamepad but doesn't recognize any buttons click or stick moves.
Any ideas what to check or how to configure the gamepad?

Not that you should have to do this, but apparently this works for some people from Reddit:
sudo modprobe -r xpad
sudo modprobe xpad
This basically removes the xbox driver and adds it back.

I executed these commands and checked gamepad with evtest. This hasn't helped me :( Anyway, thanks.

Not that it should make sense, but if you create a new user and login using that does the gamepad work? My thinking is maybe an old configuration file from before the change in how the driver worked might be messing with something?
