Just wanted to post this here for those using 14.10 or 15.04 and so on. Download the pre-built deb from here https://launchpad.net/~mdeslaur/+archive/ubuntu/steamos/+files/steamos- xpad-dkms_0.3-0md0.14.04.2_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i steamos-xpad-dkms_0.3-0md0.14.04.2_all.deb Reboot, re-link controller, switch off controller, switch it back on, and the light no longer blinks. These are the steps I took running Kubuntu 14.10. I have noticed that the light continues to blink straight after linking, the power toggle of the controller fixed the light blinking. I hope this info helps :) Peace out and game hard -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1272765 Title: Xbox 360 wireless controller light continues blinking after sync with receiver To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1272765/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
