[HELP] PS3 + linux (ubuntu)

I finally got my bluetooth PS3 key board and it work fine when I use it with my PS3 OS but when I try to run ubuntu when I type something in notthnig will come up. i'm kinda a n00b with linux so I might just be getting an error. can you ise linux with a bluetooth keyboard? or does the disk have to be in whe you use it? please help me :)

I think you have to pair the keyboard with the PS3, if you can.

If it's running standard GNOME, check around in System > Preferences > Bluetooth or something.

Also, once it's paired, it should be pretty easy to use after that.

I already paired it.

Hmm, interesting. I tried pairing Ububtu with a headset and that failed because it was only sending information along a channel for about 10 seconds.

So, either your hardware is incompatible with UBUNTU, or it's just a regular troubleshooting error that requires a few notches.

For now, we'll assume it's the latter.

Wouldyou mind giving me as much information on the keyboard as you can?

Model number, brand, etc.

Here is your problem, you must get through the installation with a USB Keyboard, and once the system is up and running, the bluetooth will be a piece of cake.

So, get through installation with USB, then you can revert back to your Bluetooth.

Hmm, I'll have to research that a bit, it can't be too hard, don't worry. :)

I have to be somewhere for most of tomorrow though, so sorry if I can't get back to you sooner.

alrite, thanks :)

get back to me whenever you can :D

This might be a bit hard, but here's how:

Source: Un-install Page (http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p18.htm)

And, from the page, you're probably only going to need this : Link (http://www.users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p18.htm#STEP_TWO)

It looks like it's as easy as getting a Live CD of a partitioning software. Anyways, good luck!

For full screen mode (I'm guessing you have a 1080p TV) follow this guide: http://psubuntu.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13

For the Wi-Fi I don't think you need to do anything if you're running 7.10....

For Bluetooth I really have no clue, as I don't really use Bluetooth devices.

wow thats awesome!!! i want a PS3 now!!! :D:D:D

same!!!! my new pc!!!

that would be SO insanely awesome. :D

1.) Follow what dima the great said for full screen mode.

2.) If I'm correct, drivers for the PS3's wireless card should come preinstalled with PS3-Ubuntu, if not, try this: On GNOME (default for Ubuntu): Go to System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager. There should be a little thing for Wireless (make sure your hooked up to Ethernet), just tick it (enable it) and it should begin downloading your drivers. Once downloaded, you don't need anymore Ethernet, you just need to do a simple reboot, and you're free to go!

3.) For bluetooth: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UserDocumentation?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=Bluetooth&titlesearch=Titles

^Look through those pages, I'm assuming you're only going to use it for Audio or something, so try this^:
