I'm trying to connect my Xbox one wireless controller to my ThinkPad t430s. When I try to run systemctl enable I get Unit xboxdrv.service not found. I've tried manually downloading and enabling it and creating a new service file but to no avail. Any help would be welcome.

I don't believe you should to start xboxdrv as a service. Instead, just type from a terminal

sudo xboxdrv

and you should be able to test it. You may need to run

sudo rmmod xpad

first.

When you want to use it for gaming, mind that you run

sudo xboxdrv --silent

instead, as printing the events to a terminal hogs a lot of CPU.

Note on what you were trying to do: I have xboxdrv successfully installed, but running 

systemctl enable xboxdrv.service

gives me 

Failed to enable unit: Unit file xboxdrv.service does not exist.

I got it to work but it's a little ugly... The package must be broken because it does not install the src files.

This one goes in /lib/systemd/system/

before trying to start the service you may need to do the same to all the files in the src directory from the link above. Careful to follow the path. src/etc goes into /etc src/usr/share goes into /usr/share and so forth.

Then run : sudo systemctl daemon reload sudo rmmod xpad sudo systemctl enable xboxdrv.service sudo systemctl start xboxdrv

after some people needed to install a patch and dkms

`sudo apt install dkms`

steamos-dkms-patch

download and dpkg -i the file good luck
