        @mschreiber I have tried that.. did not accept some of the code? I just did a fresh install of attract.. I guess I can try again.. if not it's time to buy the PS4 Dongle

          @pc4life0427 - That stinks. Were you getting any specific errors?

                Did you run the sudo commands to allow non-root users to run that command?

                sudo wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/chrippa/ds4drv/master/udev/50-ds4drv.rules -O /etc/udev/rules.d/50-ds4drv.rules

                sudo udevadm control --reload-rules

                sudo udevadm trigger

                  @mschreiber Got a message after entering...command not found....this sucks....I really don't want to waste 30$ on a dongle....either that or find a used Ps3 controller on the net..

                        It's a separate command. Don't put anything after it.

                          @mschreiber nothing still.. maybe I have one that won't connect? It does for Bluetooth.. but will not let me connect at Start menu.. even reset the controller.

                            Hmm, yeah, not sure, honestly. I'll see what I can find out today.
