+---- Thread: How to use the Wii Remote with xbmc (/showthread.php?tid=60621)
- pumkinut - 2012-01-21
There's a package conflict bug with Eden and the eventclients. The devs have been made aware and a trac ticket has been opened. As far as I can tell, not much has been done in regards to looking into the issue.

Yes, just installed Eden Beta 3 and lost my Wii remote functionality. Couldn't install xbmc-wiiremote for some reason.

Try:
Code:
dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/xbmc-eventclients-wiiremote*- Vietomatic - 2012-02-14
Hi pumkinut, I've tried your suggestion plus several others. My bluetooth is working correctly. I get this error code when trying to install xbmc-eventclients-wiiremote.
Processing triggers for man-db ...
Errors were encountered while processing:
/var/cache/apt/archives/xbmc-eventclients-wiiremote_2%3a11.0~git20120207.1fef727-0ubuntu1~ppa1~oneiric_i386.deb
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Don't know what else to try.

Try the following:
Code:
dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/xbmc-eventclients-wiiremote_2%3a11.0~git20120207.1fef727-0ubuntu1~ppa1~oneiric_i386.debAlthough you have to make sure that bluez, xbmc-eventclients-common, and libcwiid are installed and configured first.

Sweet! Thanks pumkinut! Everything is running very smoothly now!

Great, glad you got it working.
I have a question for you though. Are you able to re-sync your Wii remote across reboots of your HTPC? I'm having trouble in that respect. I'm using Eden B3, and every time I reboot I have to stop and then restart bluetoothd and then run the evenclient in order for my Wii remote to sync.
