      patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.

          result of 'sudo service bluetoothd status':

          ● bluetoothd.service
          Loaded: not-found (Reason: No such file or directory)
          Active: inactive (dead)

          Please try it again with:

          sudo service bluetooth status

          (my mistake, the 'd' at the end was wrong)

            The really really weird thing is that somehow the Pi/OSMC is seeing the PS3 controller as I am currently watching the News streaming on OSMC and when I push the PS button on the PS3 controller after about 7 seconds it makes the stream temporarily freeze for a couple of seconds indicating that the pi is seeing it as this is repeatable every time I push the PS button!! V strange!

                  I think it is related to the connection attempts, it fails to pair and disconnects again. You should
                  be able to follow this process with 'sudo bluetoothctl'. After a failed connection attempt you should
                  see a 'disconnected' message for the controller.

                    Bluetooth daemon 5.38

                    Version should be at 5.39 not 5.38! Did you forget to 'make install' or to reboot your Pi?

                      @luetzel no I definetly did 'make install' but haven't rebooted.

                      Also,all the patches haven't been applied yet as I was awaiting your response as to whether this was correct:

                        Sorry, the link that you provided was broken.

                        Awww, I see you did not download the patches in 'raw-mode'. Make sure that you don't have html tags in your files.

                        Press the 'Raw' button, before you download the patch files from github!

                              Ah ok, that's why it didn't work for you. Make sure that your link has a 'raw' in front, when downloading with wget:

                                    Well thats up to you, at least it would simplify the procedure to a:

                                    git clone https://github.com/luetzel/bluez
                                    cd bluez
                                    ./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-sixaxis
                                    make -j3
                                    sudo make install

                                    Note, that you probably have to do 'sudo apt-get install git' first.

                                      Ha..well that seems a lot easier!So I'm presuming this is with all the patches already applied?
