Unable to install libusb-git

Support AUR
1

I use xow to get the wireless dongle for my XBox One Controller to work, which has a bug that runs a CPU core at 100% because of an issue with libusb.

Since the update for libusb may not come out for months, the suggested1 solution2 appears to be using libusb-git from AUR.

Unfortunately it says it doesn’t want to install:

❯ pamac install libusb-git

Have you tried any of those:

It seems to be an issue with Pamac. I was able to install it fine with Yay.

Install prerequisites:

sudo pacman -Syu --needed base-devel git yay

Install libusb-git:

yay -S libusb-git

@Wollie Those “suggestions” are not realistic in this case.

Trying to remove pipewire wants to remove pipewire-media-session, which wants to remove xdg-desktop-portal, which wants to remove manjaro-kde-settings. I didn’t go ahead cause that seems potentially bad :slight_smile:

Thank you @Yochanan !

It installed fine with yay & it seems to be working as expected! :fireworks: :+1:

Greatly appreciate the assist :heart:
