Try pressing ctrl-alt-del and connect the controller again when it waits. There isn’t any harm in rebooting and trying again in case you want to attempt connecting via both direct (USB) and bluetooth methods.

This is what I use:

1. sudo vi /etc/rc.local

2. Add the following code at the end, just before the “exit 0” line:

echo Waiting for controller
while ! ls /dev/js* 1>/dev/null 2>&1
do
sleep 1
done
echo Controller found

3. Save

4. Reboot

What this does is wait indefinitely at bootup until a controller is connected. It works perfectly for my PS3 controller over either bluetooth or USB.
