Yesterday I felt like tinkering, so I decided to upgrade my XBMC HTPC to Ubuntu 13.10.
I wanted to keep using my SMK-Link BT remote, so I ended up updating the PS3Remote patch to apply on top of bluez 4.101 used in Ubuntu 13.10 (turned out easier than I first expected). After 24 hours everything is still running peachy here (I'm also using the December snapshot of Gotham)
For those interested, I uploaded both the updated patch and the x64 packages that I generated for my HTPC:
https://www.mediafire.com/folder/55tmp7c...ch%20Saucy
(don't ask for the x86 packages, I'm just sharing what I built for myself here)
If you manually install those packages, make sure to use dpkg-mark to ensure that they do NOT get overwritten next time you do a distro upgrade.
@Kitlaan: Thanks for the original patch If you want to put the updated patch on your website to make it easier for people to find it, be my guest.
