I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and I use a Sony Dualshock 3 Controller to play a few games on Steam. As I tend to use the controller wirelessly for long periods of time, it's not uncommon to have the controller suddenly dying on me when the battery gets really discharged.
I searched around the internet but couldn't find a way to check how much battery left I had on the controller. Is there any native way to check a PS3 controller's battery, or some script I could use?
I'm running 16.04 and I'm trying to get my PS3 controllers working. I've got them paired, but no matter what I do they connect as players 2 & 4. This causes them to not work properly with Retropie.
Anyone know how I can fix this?

Edit: I should mention that this behavior happens before I have anything else installed (with the exception of the Ubuntu updates), so it doesn't seem to be a RetroPie issue.
I'm looking to mirror my Ubuntu destop onto my TV by using my PS3. All done via wifi. Similar to the 'AirPlay Mirroring' in Mac OS X Mountain Lion. http://www.apple.com/macosx/mountain-lion/features.html#airplay
Is this possible? How would I go about it. To be clear, I don't want to share movies in particular, rather to send my screen exactly as I see it.
I'd like to use the Cell processors in a PS3. Given the changes to PS3 firmware recently, what is the best way to get Ubuntu installed on a PS3?
I have the following pieces of hardware I would like to network mostly for file sharing (media primarily): 1 gaming laptop, 1 i7 (2.3Tb storage) desktop, 1 P4 desktop (500g storage), and 1 250gig PS3.
I am looking to setup a linux host (with a PS3 media server) with the i7 desktop but am concerned about leaving it on all the time. What stripped down, low energy usage distro can I couple with which windows & PS3 friendly software?
Also, how should i reformat my i7 (in terms of partitions, RAID options, whatever)? It has 2 1Tb drives (likely adding a third), and 1 320 gig.
