well, you just need this:

1 - sixpair
2 - run sixad, like this:

sixad --stop
sixad -s
While you press the PS button to connect, run this on a different terminal:

sudo killalll -KILL...

the project is not exactly dead, but it's true I've lost interest on it.
I'll do some update at a later time, very likely before the ubuntu-12.10 release.

oh, are you using USB?
that won't work just like that... (the manual explains it).

but anyway, for USB, use 'sixad-raw', like:

sudo sixad-raw /dev/hidrawX
watch 'dmesg' after connecting a...

no, you're confusing game profiles with input profiles.
The first just creates a game config with the joystick already mapped (ie, neverball with axis and buttons pre-mapped).
To map keyboard/mouse...

It's possible to configure your own profiles using the QtSixA GUI.
Last time I tried you just used the menus to add a new profile, then set a joystick to use that profile (and re-connect).

It's...

That info is exactly what I need right now. run hidraw-dump again, give it some time (~5secs), kill it, then post here the last blocks of data.
thanks

Can you share the id of this device (the info on the back), please?

Does it work for usb? If yes, connect it, and run:

sudo hidraw-dump /dev/hidrawX
# X is the hidraw interface number reported...

I use a portuguese keyboard layout here, and never had any issues. (I've been using it like this since I first started with Linux),
I say you have something not properly configured.

If you say...

This Gasia device will not even work on USB, sorry if I forgot to mention that.

You should replace it/trade it ASAP.

Getting it to work is not worth it. With the hacks enabled it does work for some time, but you may have a kernel panic/crash randomly, and the device may also randomly disconnect itself.
That is...

Assuming you get:

when starting 'qtsixa' from a terminal, try this now:

gksu --description /usr/share/applications/qtsixa.desktop -- gedit
and report back if it works (gedit opens)

I believe it's a bug with gksu, I've seen it happening a couple of times.
Nothing in QtSixA gui has changed recently, and it was working before, so...

Does 'gksu gedit' works?

This is normal, you can safely ignore it.
the sixad-dbus-blocker is a simple python script that blocks normal bluetooth from starting up (and displaying those annoying permission dialogs).
This...

sixad-sixaxis.cpp:172, void process_sixaxis(...)

Just remember - the code is GPL v2. So if you make changes and release binaries to the public, you have to send me the changes you made to the...

You don't need the hidraw device when using sixad (all the functionality is there...).
If you want the hidraw device, edit /etc/default/sixad, set LEGACY=1 and reconnect your joysticks.

then use some script (awk or grep magic or whatever)

Just use 'hcidump', the whole bluetooth is "dumped" to terminal.

Sadly there's no way to get auto-remote working.
The remote finding process makes bluetooth barely usable (heavy usage when searching for devices), so all the other devices in the system will appear...

1) You probably have bluez-alsa installed, remove it.

2) I never used it, but I assume it works by default (connect the sixaxis first, then start XBMC). afaik, it has pre-set joysticks...

As you might guess, writing a kernel driver requires low-level kernel knowledge, which I don' have.
sixad/QtSixA is here _right now_, as we wait for the proper sixaxis support to be implemented in...

So you're saying that, even with the original Sony sixaxis, the custom driver is still not working for you?
If that is the case, please try a different bluetooth adapter (internal ones are usually...

'sixad --boot-yes' enables sixad on boot.

you should edit the default profile and really make sure the setting applies (re-show the config dialog and check if it changed).
you can always edit the...

I would suspect this is a bt driver problem, or hardware.
It's probably not a problem with qtsixa, but something else in the system causing the freeze.

You should try with a different bt adapter...

Well, I need to ask you to try it again and see if it still happens.
The 'Can't read version info hci0: Network is down (100)' message is kinda suspicious (bluetooth turned itself off?).

You can...

For now, yes. (I still need a better way to deal with the remote)
You should first connect the remote, then sixaxis.

I'll try to address this on a future release.
