Can't read inputs (ubuntu 16.04)

[tragic]

Hi, I just heard about GIMX so I installed Ubuntu 16.04 and the latest GIMX on my old laptop.

What I'm using:
Laptop is an Acer Aspire 5542
Bluetooth dongle is a CSR bluecore4
Controller is an official red PS3 controller
Mouse is a Logitech G300 with 2500dpi/1000hz
Keyboard is a Corsair K65

I paired with the controller and all seemed well, but when I click edit config or click check I get can't read inputs.

This log file is what happens when I press start:

I have absolutely no clue what I'm doing wrong but I've been trying to do this for two days to no avail.
Any help is appreciated, thanks.

It looks like the package did not properly install.
Download the package again, reinstall, and check if any error message shows up during installation.

I just re-installed it without errors but in GIMX I'm still getting the same inputs error. Is there another way I should be installing this instead of just opening it through Ubuntu Software?

Thanks

Code: Select all

wget https://gimx.fr/download/gimx-ubuntu-64bits -O gimx.deb
sudo dpkg -i gimx.deb
sudo apt-get -f install

If you get a "Dependency is not satisfiable: ..." error message, update the packages:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get -f install

Did all that, got a message along the lines of missing dependencies so I updated the packages and I'm still getting the same error as before.

Could you post the output of the commands?

I accidentally closed terminal after the wget command.

Hi, sorry for double posting. I just installed the same version of GIMX and Ubuntu on my desktop, installed it by double clicking it and it's worked perfectly, I think it's a compatibility problem with the laptop itself.

Hi,
A similar issue was reported on github: https://github.com/matlo/GIMX/pull/431
I'll try to fix it in the next minor release (GIMX 6.5).
