Another DualShock 3 Thread

[BrentonPHX]

So, I'm sure this has been beaten to death, but I cant get my DualShock 3 controller to connect to Ubuntu. It was working in 10.04 using qJoypad...But now Im running 10.10 and my comp doesnt even recognize that its plugged in when I run {lsusb}...No flashing lights, nothing...Any help would be appreciated.

I seriously am going crazy over here.........anyone?

I don't have a solution to your problem, sorry.

Just a suggestion though. If it's very important for you, why not keep using 10.04 since it's a long term release version.

Also maybe experiment with some alternative programs to qJoypad?

Can someone PLEEEEEase tell me how to install things in ubuntu, it's driving me insane!!

The readme in Qjoypad says to do this

./config
make
make install

I tried inputing it in terminal but didn't work. Please help!

First you should install QtSixa. This Program lets you use a Sixaxis/DS3 Pad over USB/Bluetooth. You can even choose multiple Profiles to use the DS3 as a Gamepad or as a Mouse/Keyboard

Ok thanks for the info. I still don't get how to install things though.

first it tells me to put "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:falk-t-j/qtsixa" in terminal, then I think it says type in "deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/falk-t-j/qtsixa/ubuntu YOUR_UBUNTU_VERSION_HERE main" but change to "Maverick" in the command?

all the gives me is

No command 'deb' found, did you mean:
Command 'debc' from package 'devscripts' (main)
Command 'derb' from package 'libicu-dev' (main)
Command 'dab' from package 'bsdgames' (universe)
Command 'debi' from package 'devscripts' (main)
Command 'xdeb' from package 'xdeb' (universe)
deb: command not found


I don't get this linux stuff

Never mind, I've had enough of Linux now, I'll just go back to god awfull windows until a lot more stuff works in linux. Atleast you know programs are going to work most of the time in windows

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:falk-t-j/qtsixa

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install qtsixa

3 simple Commands and you have it installed. Linux can be so easy sometimes if you know what you are doing....

Ps: QtSixa+Sixaxis+Bluetooth= Epic Win
