Hi all,
I really can't connect to the wiimote!
lswm returns well the MAC address but then, I always get a "Socket error" message in both wmgui and wminput.
Any idea, guys?
Bye

Try un and re-plugging your bluetooth device and reinstalling the packages if that doesn't work. Also, did you enable the module uinput?
Let me know :)!
Still the same error!
The lswm returns well the MAC address of the wiimote.
But then both wminput and wmgui returns
"Socket connect error (control channel)
unable to connect"
wminput seems ok as wminput does not complain if i run it as sudo
This is a big mess!
I really don't what could be wrong there...
Can you try with a different bluetooth adapter?...Maybe that's the problem.
Try using different USB ports also.
I'm sorry but I really haven't experienced this error ever, so I can't tell you exactly how to fix it. Let me know if what I advised you to do here works, if not post back and I'll dig into it a little more.
I've been googling and reading around some forums and apparently most people fix that by using the MAC address exactly as it appears in hciscan which I truly believe was changed for lswm.
Try this on a terminal:
Then restart the computer and type this on a terminal:Code:sudo aptitude remove --purge wminput wmgui lswm
And try following my guide from the start again. Remember to use sudo or gksudo before wminput commands and also make very sure your bluetooth address MAC is exact. Remember that the correct command to use the wiimote in Accelerometer mode is:Code:sudo aptitude install wminput wmgui lswm
Replacing the X's with your address...Tell me if it still doesn't work after doing that and sorry for the inconveniences.Code:gksudo wminput XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
I cannot find how to install the hciscan tool.
It does not work on my computer.
Else I tried the

Well...apparently hciscan doesn't work anymore...looks like it's an old version of a dead program (in my opinion). I've googled around a lot since yesterday i can't find anything to fix your problem except for the stuff I've mentioned above.
I'm truly sorry about your situation, but I hope some expert comes and helps you. I just made the guide not the programs. Besides I haven't came across such a problem before.
Your best bet is to wait for someone to pop in with a magical solution for this problem.
Did you install all of Intrepid's latest updates?...And do you have other input devices besides a mouse?...Or have you messed around with xorg.conf?
I confirm that I installed all Intrepid's updates, I have no other input beside the mouse, and I never touched the xorg.conf file...
I tried to compile the latest version of cwiid, but I still get the error with both wmgui and wminput: "Sockect error".
I figured out that I also get the error message even when I don't touch the wiimote (so the wiimote cannot be found as it is not in sync mode).
What knid of message do you have when you try to find a wiimote but don't press 1+2 buttons?
