                    Yes, i tried to remove the gamecon drivers and reinstall them. I also tried the update all packages option (including kernel update) and install all drivers from binary and from source. This is a full log:

                      Please try this from a terminal sudo apt-get remove db9-gpio-rpi-dkms gamecon-gpio-rpi-dkms

                      then try re-installing
