After connecting controller on windows, I have to unplug and plug again in ubuntu for the service to start

[Hedronmx]

If I connect my controller in windows and then restart to ubuntu, if I just turn on the controller it wont work, I need to replug the adapter for the controller to connect again.

Are you using the older dongle? You might have to blacklist the mt76 kernel module as described in issue #14. If that doesn't work then I'll have to see your debug logs.

I am using this dongle.

I realized its everytime the service starts, since after installing XOW I need to replug the adapter. Also I ran sudo ./xow and it was stuck on initializing adapter

@Hedronmx I've pushed a (potential) fix to the restart branch. It works for me, though I'm only switching between my Linux VM and Windows. Please make sure you've completely removed the old version before checking out the fix.

@andreashuetter As you've had issues with reboots in the past, I'd like to make sure we're not bringing them back. Could you please double check if this fix doesn't break anything for you?

OK, so I did some additonal testing today, but so far only with the old dongle. As soon as I find the time, I can also repeat those tests with the new dongle.
I tested both branches (master & restart) and didn't find any differences between them so far. No matter whether I use commit c3aeee0 (restart branch) or commit e8a6d75 (master branch), the behavior is the same:

When cold-booting my machine, it always seems to work.

When warm-booting my machine, then SOMETIMES (not very often) it happens that

• the LED of the controllers is brighter than usual
• no input from the controllers is detected

In this case I can either replug the adapter to make it work again, or I can turn the controllers off and on (which isn't really a problem as for me). After that the brightness of the controller LED is normal again and everything is fine.

I am using 1708 controllers.

@andreashuetter Thanks for the extensive test. It's always hard for me to reproduce issues that happen only sometimes, especially considering that I run Linux in a virtual machine.

@Hedronmx I've pushed the changes to master, please comment if the issue isn't fixed.

Sorry I couldn't test it! Was really busy. I will give it go on master. Thank you!
