how do you install a ps3 controller on easy peasy?

I've been trying to install my ps3 controller but it won't connect. I've tried usb, bluetooth, and wifi but nothing happens. What should I do so I can use my controller?

thanks for your help;

here and with my other issues I've posted.

Try that if I have understood you correctly.

I've spent the whole day trying to install this controller using the method that you gave me but it still won't work.
Some of the steps won't work because I'm missing some files. What should I do?

Please help &Thank you

Hi,

if you know the name of the missing packages; you can get them from here:

http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages

Is Easy Peasy still supported and why are you asking about EP on this forum??.

Regards Wolfman

I don't know quarry packages to get and this is the only please that knows what they are doing.
I'm sorry for asking you for help with a different OS but I really need your help.
The fact that I'm able to use my computer is because of your help before and every other place I went to for help made my problem (s) worst.
Thank you again

Hi,

I cannot help as the link I posted earlier is all I have for you, I don't have a PS3 controller myself.

If you make a note of the missing packages, you might be able to fix your problem, have you tried updating the system fully:

thanks for all the help wm. i just have one last question , how do i find the missing packages so that i can get them? i've never done something like this before.

Hi,

try installing it again and look at the warning message about "missing pacakges or dependencies", it should have the exact name of the package you need, write them down and search the link I posted earlier for them!!.

Regards Wolfman

sorry wm but i forgot to ask you how do i stop this from happening ( command hidd --server --nocheck -n:
Reply: Can't listen on HID control channel: Permission denied) in the terminal?

please and thank you

Hi,

I really cannot help much apart from what I have already posted, you can try with the following commands first:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-input-joystick

Then let us know what happens!!.

you can also try installing the packages "bluetooth" (bluetooth support) and " blueman" (bluetooth GUI) if you don't already have them installed:

sudo apt-get install bluetooth blueman

I cannot say whether or not this will help you!!.
