- kobik - 2011-11-09 Someone please help. I managed to pair the remote one time now. But after reboot I can't see it anymore and both Code: hcitool scan Code: python ps3_pair.py - peeedeee - 2011-11-09 Not in the manual... but if finally (after 4 hours) got the remote working, after deleting the content of /var/lib/bluetooth/ and run the ps3_pair.py again. Could some one add it to the manual, it solved more problems with blue-tooth for me in the past. @ kobic As far i understand uinput isn't required as kernel-module with newer kernels (mine at the moment 3.0.4 on ubuntu 10.10) ...and if you got a usb printer you probably also won't need lp in /etc/modules. Try "hciconfig" to be sure your device is up, if not execute "hciconfig up" and try "sudo ./python ps3_pair.py" instead of "./python ps3_pair.py" - kobik - 2011-11-10 Thanks peeedeee. Apparently, after so many retries the batteries just went dead and were the ones who failed on me and now it's working like a charm - kobik - 2011-11-16 I'm using the following input.conf file but not matter what, it seems it doesn't have any affect on my remote. Only the default buttons are working. Any ideas? BTW, how can I know for sure that it was kitlaan version which was installed? Code: # Configuration file for the input service - gorgeth - 2011-11-18 For those that may have had a working 11.10 that stopped after an update recently it is due to the "unpatched" oneiric ubuntu sources leapfrogging kitlaan's ppa .. if you downgrade to his version (using synaptic/package menu force version) and then lock the version you should be back in business using customized input.conf as usual! you may have to install synaptic manually if this was a clean install of 11.10 (sudo apt-get install synaptic or use the software center either way works) Update: do NOT blindly allow updates from "apt-get update/upgrade" if you use this method.. as using for ex sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade will walk all over your "locked' versions from synaptic.. update-manager/synaptic/aptitude (terminal mode gui) all seem to support the synaptic package version force though... - mocker - 2011-11-30 gorgeth Wrote:For those that may have had a working 11.10 that stopped after an update recently it is due to the "unpatched" oneiric ubuntu sources leapfrogging kitlaan's ppa .. if you downgrade to his version (using synaptic/package menu force version) and then lock the version you should be back in business using customized input.conf as usual! Have you tried setting a priority on the repository? I'm not at home but something like this may work: Code: user@boobtube:/etc/apt/preferences.d$ pwd After you setup the preference try running 'apt-cache policy bluez' to see which candidate is selected for installation. Also on a different topic, a note for people following the instructions on Ubuntu 11.10, uinput is now compiled into the kernel, so the modprobe won't show anything. - Trooper87 - 2011-12-07 mocker Wrote:Have you tried setting a priority on the repository? I'm not at home but something like this may work: Managed to get the remote working on 11.10. This is how I set the preferred repository: Code: cd /etc/apt The wake up time is a bit slow on this remote, takes 2-3 sec to wake up and input is registered. I might have a bad bluetooth adapter. Is anyone experiencing a faster wake up time? - Infinitatus - 2011-12-14 Just paired my zacate pc with my ps3 remote. In blueman the device is present. I used bluezpatch from kitlaan. It pairs, but no button works in XBMC, I changed the input.conf like in the xbmc wiki, but no result. No even the default buttons /usr/share/doc/bluez/examples/list-devices shows: Name = Mypcname-0 Powered = 1 Devices = dev_00_24_33_98_EE_6B DiscoverableTimeout = 0 PairableTimeout = 0 Discoverable = 1 Address = 00:26:83:2F:49:AD Discovering = 0 Pairable = 1 Class = 4849920 UUIDs = 0x1000 0x1001 0x1112 0x111f 0x110a 0x110c 0x110e 0x1103 [ /org/bluez/1007/hci0/dev_00_24_33_98_EE_6B ] Name = BD Remote Control Paired = 0 Adapter = /org/bluez/1007/hci0 Alias = BD Remote Control Connected = 0 UUIDs = 0x1124 0x1200 Address = 00:24:33:98:EE:6B Services = dbus.Array([], signature=dbus.Signature('o'), variant_level=1) Class = 0x00250c Trusted = 1 Blocked = 0 cat /proc/bus/input/devices won't show the remote I pairs, it is trusted, but it is not connected? Please help me. I cannot use bluesman because i used a minimal installation. - Infinitatus - 2011-12-19 Infinitatus Wrote:Just paired my zacate pc with my ps3 remote.

I can´t find the solution. - kobik - 2011-12-19 @Infinitatus, have you tried this? peeedeee Wrote:Not in the manual... but if finally (after 4 hours) got the remote working, after deleting the content of /var/lib/bluetooth/ and run the ps3_pair.py again. BTW, how can a set a button for print screen? - pumkinut - 2011-12-20 You'd need to set up a button for the screenshot command in input.conf. For example if you wanted to use the Blue button for taking screenshot it would be as such: Code: 0x80 = KEY_PRINTSCREEN #BLUE That's if you're setting up the remote to send keyboard presses, since the default screenshot key is "Print Screen". - Trooper87 - 2011-12-20 I also had problems with getting the remote working, got the remote paired but the remote would not work. Then I tried this guide and it worked(I skipped the uinput part because 11.10 has uinput built into the kernel): http://forum.xbmc.org/showpost.php?p=921769&postcount=614 - Infinitatus - 2011-12-20 kobik Wrote:@Infinitatus, have you tried this? Didn´t work i deleted everything, but it says that ps3remote already exists. @Trooper87 there is one problem with that guide: http://h00s.net/ps3bdremote.tar.gz -->403 forbidden. Unless you have that program, can you mail me that program? - kobik - 2011-12-20 pumkinut Wrote:You'd need to set up a button for the screenshot command in input.conf. Thanks man! BTW, where to xbmc saves them :S - Infinitatus - 2011-12-20 Infinitatus Wrote:Didn´t work i deleted everything, but it says that ps3remote already exists.
