I used to use my ps3 controller to play games, and a couple of days ago it stopped working. I get this message during boot up (after BIOS):

[ (some numers)] sony 0003.054c.(more numbers): can't set operational mode

qtsixa still recognizes the controller being plugged in. My best guess is there was an update to a dependent or repository or something.

I also tried to connect a different ps3 controller with a different cord in a different USB slot - no change. I have also tried resetting them both with the little button on the back.

I entered lsusb in terminal and in usb port 7 it says: 

Sony Corp. Batoh Device / PlayStation 3 Controller

Jstest & antimicro don't recognize that the controller is there.

  • I am having this problem too, if you are on 14.04 it is the kernel update from a couple days ago that caused this. Booting in to the older kernel makes it work for me, but I can't figure out how to get it working in the new one. I've tried reinstalling sixad and its dependencies. –  Jun 03 '14 at 17:24
  • AHHH I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I barely know what a kernal is, much less how to switch them. To fix it I re installed 14.04, and I'm not updating. We need someone who knows better. Meybe there's a correlation! What system are you running? – FormicSapien Jun 04 '14 at 21:00
