I had been using a PS3 gamepad on PCSX for a while on Ubuntu 14.04, but realized it stopped working today.

The controller is detected by lsusb on Terminal, but it does not appear in PCSX or jstest-gtk.

I can confirm that this is a problem specific to trusty, since I tried to use the controller in a laptop with precise and it worked correctly.

EDIT 29 JUNE

Just found out that udev seems to be broken, and that this is a bug affecting several users. Apparently, the way of making it work is to create your own udev rules, but that at the moment goes beyond my capability.

This problem has been solved in the latest update for udev in trusty, so just run the Software Updater or open a Terminal and enter

sudo apt-get update 
sudo apt-get upgrade
