I installed xbmcbuntu 'frodo' RC1. Tried at first to just use 'bluez' with repositories included in this disto, with ps3pair.py. That got me basic fuctionality of the ps3 remote (select, with directional control, and back key.. no volume control).
I purged bluez, got the 4.94 source, used kitlaans patch and got it all working again.
Im no guru, it took me awhile, but it is possible.
This thread is long, lots of it is outdated, but it still helped me.
Maybe it's because I'm a linux noob, but I've been trying to downgrade bluez and apply the patch to no avail.
I'm using Linux Mint 14 Cinnamon, and everytime I purge bluez, it blows most of my desktop packages away and leaves the OS unable to boot.
After about 5 goes at getting my HTPC up and running properly, only to blow it away at this step, I took a backup image of my current install (which I'm totally happy with, aside form the BD remote), so I'm open to trying again......
