Having major problems trying to my ps3 bluetooth remote to pair with XBMC ubuntu.
I followed the steps on http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW..._BD_Remote and it took me back to here.
I followed all this and changed jaunty to lucid because I am using the latest release of XBMC for ubuntu (Dharma)
sudo apt-get purge bluez
sudo echo deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/kitlaan/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main >> /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo echo deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/kitlaan/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main >> /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 6F7177CC
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bluez
That worked fine and so did putting in "lsmod | grep uinput"
But when I get up to this step:
cd ~
wget http://kitlaan.twinaxis.com/projects/blu...air.tar.gz
tar xvfz ps3pair.tar.gz
cd ~/ps3pair
sudo python ps3_pair.py
I get
sudo python ps3_pair.py
ERROR:dbus.proxies:Introspect error on org.bluez:/: dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.bluez was not provided by any .service files

I went back through the previous posts where somebody else had the similar error but it seems like I do have bluez installed:
aptitude show bluez
