I’m on Fedora and I use the xone driver for a wireless Xbox One X/S controller. Every time I update the kernel the xone driver disappears so I need to reinstall it constantly (I assume it’s because of how Fedora handles backup kernel versions). It was not like this back when I was using an arch based distro so is there a way I can make this not happen or is it just Fedora being Fedora?

Edit: turned out something has happened with DKMS when I installed xone. I removed the xone dkms module, deleted the files associated with it and then reinstalled xone so now it works again.

    Do you have an error message? Is dkms failing during the install, or is it just not rebuilding the modules when a new kernel is built?

      DKMS is installed and I dont recall seeing any error message when I run the xone install script, but I would have to check when I have time to make sure I didnt miss anything

      After checking again I see that I get the error “could not locate dkms.conf” when I run the install script. I am googling solutions but if you have any ideas I would be glad to hear them!
