Im getting the exact same error. Were you able to install wiimote through the application manager? I kept getting errors, finally got it through apt-get. I had transition control installed, which I guess some people have reported as conflicting, but its uninstalled now.

Anyone know what's up with this??

I see that some else asking the same question as me in this thread, but can't see (or don't understand any answeers), so I ask again.

I can't get "wiicontrol" to run stabel, when i start it, it closes it self within 7 sec.

It dosen't matter if I try conect the wii remote or not..

any suggestions?

Nicholas, try starting it from the terminal. Youre undoubtedly getting the same bluetooth error as the rest of us. Go vote for the bug in Phoenix's link. Hopefully this will be fixed soon

Edit: Though not in PR1.2, judging from the report by Urho Kontorri on the bug page.

Can the people who previously were able to get the wiimote to work still use it? Or is it just affecting new installations?

Maybe we can make a list of installed programs. Is there someone with PR 1.1 with working wiicontrol app?

P.S. Voted...

I'm having trouble with wiicontrol;

I installed it from the app manager and it provides an icon-less application which I can run; when I run it, the title reads "wiicontrol" and some text in the upper half of the app reading "press 1+2 on your wiimote now".

There are 4 greyed-out buttons I can press: Gamepad Mode, Browser Mode, SNES, and Gamepad+Gyro.

The application stays open for approx 3-5 seconds and then terminates itself -- regardless of whether I press buttons on the wiimote or not.

----

Bluetooth is activated and I am set to Visible. I've unplugged my wii in case it's interfering. I set the name of my bluetooth device to "N900".

I can see a device named "Nintendo RVL-CNT-01" from my bluetooth pane but I have no way to pair with it (can't input a 4 digit code into the wiimote).

Battery life on the wiimote is hovering between 2-3 out of 4 LEDS

----

What else can I do to try to get the wiimote to communicate with my N900?
