Try the steps from this post. Basically it involves two steps:
- Installing
xboxdrvfrom a PPA which contains a more updated version of the package:sudo add-apt-repository ppa:grumbel/ppa && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xboxdrv - Blacklisting the
xpaddriver by addingblacklist xpadto your/etc/modprobe/blacklist.conf
Here was my solution.
1) Download the source code for xboxdrv from here:http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/xboxdrv/
2) I used the 0.87 version: xboxdrv-linux-0.8.7.tar.bz2
3) Extract it using the tar command in a useful directory:
4) Determine the USB ID of the controller by running watch lsusb and then plugging in the controller. The device should pop up note down the ID. Example: 0e6f:011f
5) In the src directory find the xpad_device.cpp file. (Not the hpp version!)
6) Open the file. Inside you should see a list of devices. { GAMEPAD_XBOX360, 0x24c6, 0x5000, 'Razer Atrox Arcade Stick' }, { GAMEPAD_XBOX, 0x045e, 0x0202, 'Microsoft X-Box pad v1 (US)' }, { GAMEPAD_XBOX360_GUITAR, 0x1430, 0x4748, 'RedOctane Guitar Hero X-plorer' }, { GAMEPAD_XBOX_MAT, 0x0738, 0x4540, 'Mad Catz Beat Pad' },
7) Copy one of the entries and modify it to reflect your controller.{ GAMEPAD_XBOX360, 0x0e6f, 0x011f, 'Rock Candy Gamepad for Xbox 360'},
8) Install required libraries for compilation. For other distros these may be different. This list can also be found in the README.md file included with the tarball.sudo apt-get install g++ libboost1.42-dev scons pkg-config libusb-1.0-0-dev git-core libx11-dev libudev-dev x11proto-core-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev
9) Uninstall xboxdrv if you already have it installed.sudo apt-get remove xboxdrv
10) cd to the extracted xboxdrv folder and run scons.cd /home/foxyv/Downloads/xboxdrv-linux-0.8.7scons
11) After scons is done configuring the build, run make.
12) When make is finished building, run sudo make install to install the compiled application.
13) Plug in your controller! You may need to restart the xboxdrv daemon using sudo service xboxdrv restart

A typical reason your controller won't turn on is because it's not being supplied enough power (if any). The potential causes of this problem are numerous. Here is how to identify and fix it:
Testing Connections
Tools and Materials
- Multimeter
- Soldering iron/solder
- Wire stripper
How To
- Use a multimeter's continuity testing feature to check certain connections (see pictures)
- If there isn't any signal through a certain connection, you may need to strip that wire and replace it
- If all the connections are fine, try the tests below
Testing For a Short Circuit
A short circuit is when the power and ground connections come in contact. This could lead to very bad damage to the controller's core parts or the battery.
Tools and Materials
- Multimeter
Rock Candy Wireless Ps3 Controller Drivers
How To
- Unplug everything and take out the batteries if possible
- Using the multimeter's resistance testing feature(Ω), place the probes between the controller's power(+) and ground(-)
- If the resistance is 0Ω or close to it, there is a short in the system. There are many ways this could've happened. They are very hard to fix, so you should check out step 8
Testing Voltage
Tools and Materials
- Multimeter
Rock Candy Usb Controller Driver
How To
Ps3
- Plug the remote in or put in the batteries
- Use a multimeter's voltage testing feature(V) to check the voltage coming from the console/batteries
- Compare the voltage to the ones on this table
- If the voltage is less than it should be, there is something wrong with the console, and beyond the scope of this Instructable (I have no experience with fixing consoles)
