Bob, as per the release notes from
http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product
/alienware-alpha/drivers?os=biosa an update to your computer's buggy,
insecure, and outdated BIOS is available (A04). When you update to this
following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does this improve
the situation?

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful.

Also, you don't have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible:
1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect):
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not.
3) Please mark this report Status Confirmed.

If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Xbox 360 wireless controller LED light keeps flashing after sync

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When connecting a Xbox 360 wireless controller on Ubuntu Mate 16.04
  the LED light continues to flash after syncing to the usb wireless
  receiver, instead of being a solid light indicating what player it is
  assigned. Tried it on Lubuntu 16.04 and its working as it should.

  It used to be a problem for a couple of years, but it was supposedly
  fixed in Kernel Update 4.2:
