Controller not working
Controller stops working right after I launch steamlink. It's an afterglow USB controller. The steamlink screen has it listed as 'PDP xbox 369 afterglow', but I can't do anything.

Where should I start debugging? Last time this problem I wiped the Pi completely, but I would rather not do that every patch...

Yes, as of today's update I have the same problem. I even tried to uninstall Steam Link and delete the configuration files and it still doesn't work.

Excellent it did an update and seems fine now!

Also, I'm not sure it was an issue with just the controller. I tried plugging in a mouse too, and that didn't work.

What's the output of: lsusb

What is the output of: ls /lib/udev/rules.d
