I recently installed XBMC 13.2 on Ubuntu Vivid (15.04) straight from the Ubuntu repos. After I had enabled controller support in the settings, my logitech FS710 worked perfectly with XBMC.
After I have enabled the kodi ppa and upgraded to 14.2 I get no response to my input. The upgrade process went smoothly and when I first launched kodi I was told that my settings had been migrated from XBMC to kodi. All my libraries were there and my settings were intact including the enabling of controller support. Despite this as I said I get no response to any input.
I have tried disabling, restarting the computer and reenabling controller support, all to no avail. I have also tried deleting the migrated settings. Going into the 'fresh' settings finds controller support enabled by default but still not working. The controller clearly still works as evidenced by my experience in Steam Big Picture mode.
My experience somewhat echoes that of "Vitaly Gurevich" in the comments on the blog post regarding the release of 14.1, in that 3rd party controller support appears to be broken since the upgrade from 13.2.
Any ideas or suggestions apart from downgrading? My only lead is that apparently there is a new Joystick API and that might have ruined things for me though the announcement of it isn't clear as to whether it has been dropped into a release or still just something in the works.
