Xboxdrv not able to start
I installed the xbox controller drivers (for use with an XBox One controller) using
sudo apt install xboxdrv
However when I try to start/enable the service with
sudo systemctl start xboxdrv.service
I get the following error
Failed to start xboxdrv.service: Unit xboxdrv.service not found.
Any ideas?

First, try to enable the service with the following command:
sudo systemctl enable xboxdrv.service
and then try starting it with:
sudo systemctl start xboxdrv.service
If the service is not found, then the service needs to be created.
Make a file called "xboxdrv.service" in the /etc/systemd/system and copy/paste the following in it:
[Unit]
Description=Xbox controller driver daemon
[Service]
Type=simple
User=root
PIDFile=/var/run/xboxdrv.pid
ExecStartPre=/usr/share/ubuntu-xboxdrv/xboxdrv-pre
EnvironmentFile=/usr/share/ubuntu-xboxdrv/uxvars
ExecStart=/usr/bin/xboxdrv --daemon --silent --pid-file /var/run/xboxdrv.pid --dbus disabled $XBOXDRV_OPTIONS $PAD_OPTIONS $CONTROLLER0_OPTIONS --next-controller $PAD_OPTIONS $CONTROLLER1_OPTIONS --next-controller $PAD_OPTIONS $CONTROLLER2_OPTIONS --next-controller $PAD_OPTIONS $CONTROLLER3_OPTIONS
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
Then enable the service:
sudo systemctl enable xboxdrv.service
Followed by starting the service:
sudo systemctl start xboxdrv.service
Make sure the Xbox controller is connected when you start the service.

You're a lifesaver, thanx! :D Do you have any idea how I can connect my controller wirelessly, cause when I try to pair the device is says "Device not available", altho scanning does find it in console (not in GUI). Thanx again :D

I haven't tried to pair the controller over bluetooth. There are a few things to consider: is the controller a stock controller or a custom one (like the XBox Elite Controller)? Does the controller need to have a firmware update? Does the host computer need a kernel update? Try posting a new question.
