hi I really want this to work on my linux laptop so I can use it in school. I have tried it with kernels 3.0.4 and 3.1.1 and I get the same error. I have the following installed on my machine: bluez-4.9.1, bluez-firmware-1.2, bluez-hcidump-2.0 & blueman-r708. The wiimote communicates perfectly well with my blueman device manager and wmgui. I was going to post the whole message but it looks a bit confusing, so I shall extract the bits which I think are important. If anyone can tell me what the problem is and how I can overcome it, I would be very grateful. So here goes:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Bluetooth failed to initialize. There is probably a problem with your local Bluetooth stack or API. at wiiremotej.WiiRemoteJ.(WiiRemoteJ.java:74) …. [lots more lines like the above] Caused by: javax.bluetooth.BluetoothStateException: BlueCove com.intel.bluetooth.BluetoothStackBlueZ not available ….[lots more lines like the above] … 18 more
I would really appreciate some help here.
