Hello!
Im using Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS
I have a new Xbox controller and I bought an 8bitdo dongle to connect it with Ubuntu. At first it did not work, but connecting it in Windows and then configuring it, in Ubuntu it appears correctly.
The problem comes when I turned off the computer, the next boot, I turn on the controller and it connects correctly but the applications do not detect it.
I know what the problem is, if I boot with the dongle plugged in, it loads a nintendo module and it doesn’t work:
