xboxdrv LIBUSB_ERROR_IO problem

Hello,

I have a generic (unofficial) Xbox One controller, and I installed xboxdrv from the xboxdrv-git package. In order to avoid duplicate entries from the same controller, I have blacklisted xpad, and I want to use xboxdrv exclusively in order to force the controller to be detected as an official Xbox One controller. xboxdrv-git has official support for my controller's hardware ID.

However, I get USBController::usb_write(): libusb_submit_transfer(): LIBUSB_ERROR_IO every time I attempt to initialize xboxdrv as root:

# xboxdrv

USBController::usb_write(): libusb_submit_transfer(): LIBUSB_ERROR_IO

The command xboxdrv --daemon gives me the following:

What are the possible solutions?

Thank you

Re: xboxdrv LIBUSB_ERROR_IO problem

The https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xboxdrv/ looks to be in better shape, have you tried that one ?

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

The regular xboxdrv package is outdated and doesn't support my controller:

No Xbox or Xbox360 controller found

Re: xboxdrv LIBUSB_ERROR_IO problem

What if you do not run the application as root?

Then this happens:
