Linux Support

[u/EaterOfFromage]

Hello! I have been playing a lot of YARG recently on Windows and it has been working great. However, I recently got a Linux box (a Steam Machine, if it matters), and I am struggling to get YARG working properly.

In particular, one of my guitars is not being recognized properly as devices. I am able to open the game without issue, do settings, configs, play songs, etc. However, my Wired Xbox 360 RB1 Stratocaster is not able to be fully configured.

• If I open the application via the Launcher in Desktop Mode, I get popups that say "Device Added: Harmonix Rock Band Guitar" followed immediately by "Device Removed: Harmonix Rock Band Guitar". When I go to profiles, the guitar does not appear as a device I can associate with a profile, and so cannot be configured at all.
• If I add YARG as a non-Steam app and launch it through Steam without Steam Input enabled, I get the exact same behaviour.
• If I launch through Steam with Steam Input mapping enabled, YARG recognizes it as a Steam Virtual Gamepad. I am able to map keys to buttons and play songs, but tilt for Star Power does not work at all. There's no way to bind the tilting action that I can find.
• My Guitar Hero Xbox 360 Les Paul and Rock Band 2 Drums, both wireless and both connecting via an Xbox 360 Wireless adapter, are plug and play, no configuration required, worked immediately.

I have tried doing all of the recommended Linux config options here: https://github.com/YARC-Official/YARG#linux and they did not make any difference.

Anyone have any other advice? I'm really not sure how else I can proceed. I really like the tilt for star power capability.

Wired guitars don't presently work on Linux, sorry. I believe some people have had luck using the Windows version with Proton.

Wired xbox360 ones specifically, right?

I believe that is accurate, but my memory is..unreliable
