Trying to install dualsensectl
Hello there
Now, my DS5 controller doesn't work properly (as is @EclipseLeo's, I'm pulling you here in case I find a solution, mate, I hope that's okay).
So I'm trying to install dualsensectl (https://github.com/nowrep/dualsensectl), but it has dependencies.
Meson I managed.
hidapi I'm stumbling, it gives me this :
And then I'll have to install libudev, and I have no idea how.
Can somebody explain to us beginners how to do that ?

For @EclipseLeo, to install meson (if you already did with the command I gave you, remove it with replacing "install" by "uninstall" in that same command) :
- Search distroshelf in your apps. You can use it to create distroboxes, that are (as far as I understand it) "emulations" of other distros for the purpose of using command specific to other distros.
- use
sudo dnf install meson ninja-build
Now it should be installed in a less dangerous way. I think.
It sometimes feel like unending series of dependencies to dependencies to dependencies, each one with another new way to install that generates new dependencies
It makes me so madupdate the container
on fedora there is no libhidapi-dev, but there is hidapi-devel
dualsense should work out of the box
i believe adrwen asked about rumble before? i doubt dualsensectl will help
i don't have a DS5, but i do have a third party DS4 - rumble works ootb when wired reliable. i've found that when using bluetooth without gamescope it gets a bit inconsistent, but bluetooth+gamescope solve it for me
and controls are mostly available from the steam controller menu, so again i don't think dualsensectl will change much
what exactly doesn't work with your dualsense? @Adrwen (Grmbl / π§‘)
It works out of the box, it doesn't work as a dualsense out of the box. Haptics are wierd, and I know EclipseLeo's touchpad doesn't work
And I don't have adaptive triggers either
FYI, I connect my ds5 with the constructor usb-c cable, and I don't have bt on my pc
adaptive triggers work only in supported games and so do the haptics, both need steam input off and haptics may require costum proton
did they disable the dualsense's mouse via a udev rule?
I do have steam input off, and i'm on proton experimental
I don't think so, but you can ask them
try proton-GE
How ? It's not in my compatibility tools list on steam
you can download it from ProtonPlus (preinstalled) and it'll show up in Steam after a restart of steam
which game? does it have native support for dualsense?
Elden Ring, and I know it doesn't, but I SWEAR my DS5 was acting differently on windows than it is now
