History
2023-08-10: sda2 - a poweroff / power on of the Steam Machine fixed the Steam Controller - now it works in the Steam gui again. I also played a couple of games - it is working there too.
2023-08-10: sda2 - Steam Controller - replaced the batteries (2 x AA), the negative pole of one of the batteries had started to corrode, so it was well over time to replace them.
2023-08-10: sda2 - the Steam Controller doesn't work in Steam anymore. It is detected, I can test it and calibrate it, but the only button that works in the Steam gui is the Steam button. Also this:

- Fixed CIR Wakeup issue - Patched SIO power dissipation issue after entering Deep Sleep (S5) 2K151030 (for MS-DOS/ Free-DOS update only) .Patch for Steam OS .Patch for abnormal system temperature shown in Windows Hardware Monitoring Utility 2K150907 .Initial mass production release OS: Windows 10, Windows 10 32-bit, Windows 10 64-bit, Windows 8, Windows 8 32-bit, Windows 8 64-bit, Windows 7 32-bit, Windows 7 64-bit, Windows Vista 32-bit, Windows Vista 64-bit, Windows XP 32-bit, Windows XP 64-bit, Linux, MS Dos
(the Steam machine currently runs the 2K151030 release).
2016-12-24: running actkbd manually to get a hotkey to capture screenshots of the login screen:
desktop@steamos:~$ sudo /usr/sbin/actkbd -D --device /dev/input/event5 --config /etc/actkbd-steamos.conf
verify that it runs:
desktop@steamos:~$ ps awx | grep [a]ctk 1054 ? Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/actkbd -D --device /dev/input/event5 --config /etc/actkbd-steamos.conf
config file

now pressing Rwin+C takes a screenshot and places it into /home/steam/Pictures. Nice.
2016-12-24: to figure out which codes the keys produce, run actkbd like this, from a terminal window on the Steam machine:
desktop@steamos:~$ sudo /usr/sbin/actkbd -n -s -d /dev/input/event5
use Ctrl-C to break out of it.
2016-12-24: using udevadm info to figure out which input device is the usb keyboard:

the other devices in /dev/input are the Steam controller, power and sleep buttons, video device? and more.

same as before.
Settings, System reports Steam client built Dec 9, 2016, at 20:41:33. SteamOS 2.0 update 1:2.97 (same as before).
A message says "Restart to Update SteamOS", so I click on it. "SteamOS updates are available." I restart, a progress bar completes quickly, the updates takes a few more minutes, and the machine reboots again.
Settings, System now reports SteamOS 2.0 update 1:2.98. From the shell
desktop@steamos:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: SteamOS Description: SteamOS 2.0 Release: 2.0 Codename: brewmaster desktop@steamos:~$ uname -a Linux steamos 4.1.0-0.steamos.41-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.1.13-0+steamos15 (2016-11-22) x86_64 GNU/Linux
this is unchanged.
2016-11-26:after the update, Settings, System now reports SteamOS 2.0 update 1:2.97. From the shell:
desktop@steamos:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: SteamOS Description: SteamOS 2.0 Release: 2.0 Codename: brewmaster desktop@steamos:~$ uname -a Linux steamos 4.1.0-0.steamos.41-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.1.13-0+steamos15 (2016-11-22) x86_64 GNU/Linux
ok.
2016-11-26: SteamOS update - after getting to my account, a message indicated "there are SteamOS updates available, restart to update". So I did, and was greeted with a white progress bar on the "Steam" logo background. The update took quite a few minutes.
2016-11-26: I restarted the machine, it figured out it had a wired connection and disabled the wireless network - good. The Steam client still complains about "network failure".
2016-11-26: network - I bought network cables at the "black friday" weekend sale at Digital Impuls today, so let me connect one 121723 Cat6, UTP 1.5 meter, green (NOK 11-.) to one of the wired ports. it shows up
desktop@steamos:~$ ip addr show dev eth2 2: eth2: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:01:2e:67:c9:e3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.1.161.26/16 brd 10.1.255.255 scope global dynamic eth2 valid_lft 43140sec preferred_lft 43140sec inet6 fe80::201:2eff:fe67:c9e3/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
ok.
2016-11-26: the steam client still complains a lot about "network failure" when I try to connect / log on, even if the network connection to my wireless network works fine:
desktop@steamos:~$ ip addr show dev wlan1 4: wlan1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether e0:94:67:4c:c1:a1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 10.1.161.1/16 brd 10.1.255.255 scope global dynamic wlan1 valid_lft 42678sec preferred_lft 42678sec inet6 fe80::e294:67ff:fe4c:c1a1/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
ok. I wonder if a wired network connection will work any better?

ok
2016-11-26: I moved the Steam Controller Receiver from inside the machine to a usb (2.) port on the back of the machine, in case it helps avoiding disconnects..
2016-11-20: connect via ssh:
tingo@kg-core1$ ssh desktop@10.1.161.1 desktop@10.1.161.1's password: The programs included with the SteamOS GNU/Linux system are free software; the exact distribution terms for each program are described in the individual files in /usr/share/doc/*/copyright.

nice.
2016-11-20: install openssh-server:
$ sudo apt-get install openssh-server
2016-11-20: enabled access to desktop mode, and after setting a password on the 'desktop' account I can use sudo.
2016-11-20: after the update, Settings, System now reports SteamOS 2.0 update 1:2.87.
2016-11-20: SteamOS update - after getting to my account, a message indicated "there are SteamOS updates available, restart to update". So I did, and was greeted with a white progress bar on the "Steam" logo background. The update took quite a few minutes.
2016-11-19: connecting to Steam - finally, after many tries, it connected to my Steam account, updated account info, updated firmware on the steam controller and I'm in.
2016-11-19: connecting to Steam - I created an account on Steam via another machine, and logged in - works. However, when I try to Login on the Steam Machine, it connects for a while, then says "Can't connect to the Steam service. Check your network connection or try again later." However, my network connection is ok, I can ping the Steam machine from other machines on my network:
tingo@kg-core1$ ping 10.1.161.1 PING 10.1.161.1 (10.1.161.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 10.1.161.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=27.018 ms 64 bytes from 10.1.161.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=249.375 ms 64 bytes from 10.1.161.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=85.258 ms ^C --- 10.1.161.1 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0.0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 27.018/120.550/249.375/94.145 ms
oh, well.
2016-11-19: Settings - System: I checked for SteamOS updates, it did so for a while then returned without any more notice. I also checked for Steam client updates - it doesn't seem to be one there either.
2016-11-19: Settings - System: client built Oct 13 2016,at 00:48:20, Steam versions 1476379980, Steam API v017, SteamOS version SteamOS 2.0 update 1-2+bsos1.
2016-11-19: setup - I selected English language, Wi-Fi connection (to my second wireless network), and used my usb keyboard to enter the password. Wi-Fi connection failed the first time, but worked on second try. It said that a new version of Steam was available - download upgrade or power off was the options. I didn't select anything, and a while later I got a Login / Join screen.
