When it can't connect to anything it just keeps stating "Waiting for
connection" on Om2008.8-upgrade I can not close it. Closing it by
pressing on the cross or in the topbar does not work. Killall remoko
also has no effect; nor does killal python; I have to killall -9
python.

I have only one bluetooth enabled device nearby: my ps3.
I go to manage bluetooth devices and let it scan and then I start
remoko. It never finds the phone, while it does find the carkit of my
mother when she parks right outside.
What do I need to do to make it work?
(if you need some more info, just ask and I'll happily provide it)
