Spent six hours yesterday trying to pair a ps3 remote with kodibuntu. Was able to pair it but not able to hold the pair after reboot. There is quite a bit on pairing bluetooth devices with ubuntu and a thread here on Kodibuntu pairing with ps3 remote but none of it worked effectively, at least for a command line nob like me. Finally in frustration I threw the head up and installed openelec (on a temporary basis until i figure out where I'm going wrong)
I did notice that in Kodibuntu the CPU usage was 40-60% at idle, probably an easy fix but i didn't get that far. I also found that the ps3 controller when working had a distinctive lag, not pleasing at all and simply far too many buttons, I may splurge out on a new simpler controller and a flirc device. I really did like Kodibuntu, more pleasing to the eye than openelec and far more versatile for what i needed. The whole thing seems crowed somehow.
