Still: What is the output of dmesg after connecting the gamepad?
Last page should be enough.
Also: Try to press and hold down any button on your gamepad for some seconds.

Seems to be a problem with this specific device. There are others that have similar problems. Might just be an incompatibility with linux at the moment.

But at openelec, I can use it fine with emulators or kodiā¦ can I take some configuration from there? 
I see people using xboxdrv for rumblepad 2ā¦ any tips how can use this?

You could try blacklisting or unloading the xpad module.

yes tried that too, xpad module is not loaded.
rmmod: ERROR: Module xpad is not currently loaded
this is too strange at openelec, I can play fine with retroarch
Tried loading that module?
OpenElec and OSMC are two different operating systems. They both run Kodi, but there colud be other things that are different.
I have this loaded:

But dont see xboxdrv or xpad there, tried:

but still no luck. I hate when linux support lacks this is only a USB gamepadā¦ cant be too complicated to make it run xd
ok Toast tell me this:
āthats missing in the kernel its gonna be included in the kernel in the future so right now its impossible to get your logitech controller workingā
I must wait then 
thanks!!
If Iām going from version 0.006 to 0.007 (I never installed the chroot version) how do I uninstall before installing the latest version? Or do I need to at all? I ran the install script (0.006) and it updated the script to 0.007 automatically but I did not see any uninstall options and I did not want to begin to install RetroPie from the updated script since your instructions say to uninstall old versions first.
I would recommend to setup osmc again in this case. If you are not concerned about ghostpackages from raspbian, you can also make sure to remove any raspbian source from /etc/apt/sources.list and then run the new installer.

hi mcobit,
Iāve installed retrosmc a few days ago and now Iām fighting with some obstacles.
I managed to have BIOS and roms dirs mounted and unmounted automatically from nfs share during retropie startup and closing, I managed to add xboxdrv start in daemon mode,
Iām using Speedlink TORID gamepad. It works without any issues in ES, unfortunately not in every game. My problems are that games donāt start (either with some error message on a screen and then return to ES or ES/emulator hangs up on a black screen and the only thing is left is to reboot RPi2).
If onyone is interested I have compiled the newest xboxdrv (0.8.8) from sources. Here is a ready deb package.
xboxdrv_0.8.8-1_armhf.deb
Also I have noticed that when my wireless keyboardās receiver is also plugged in, ES discovers it as gamepad #0, and only then my gamepad is assigned number 1. Although it works in ES, it doesnāt work then in any emu.
Can you suggest how can I analyze whatās wrong?
Iām not quite clear on your direction here. Are you recommending starting with a clean install of OSMC and then running the RetrOSMC setup script?
Yes
What version are you using?
Do you have an uninstall option when running the install menu?
If you are still on an older version, please uninstall and reinstall with the latest script as described in the first post.
So I set this up today, and played a few things then wanted to return to OSMC, it seems just to halt the pi when I select exit. Is this expected behavior?
No, not really.
You need to QUIT emulationstation. Not shutdown or restart!
Edit: I actually thought about patching emulationstation to only have the option to go back to kodi (quit to commandline) but then I would need to maintain my own fork of it and I want to stay as close to RetroPie as possible to make updating easy and reliable.
Maybe we can work out some solution. But for now, you need to quit it (third option in the quit es menu I think)
