Contoling your Ubuntu Saucy Salamander based set tob box with Kinnect

So I finally got some time to play around with my Kinect controler again, and mostly remebered to play with it because I found a $5 TV stand for it at Five Below. 

I sometimes hate looking for the remote, and often wish I could take call and video chat using via XBMC, not to mention have a living room Bunny cam (I have 2 rabbits) while I'm away.

After much searching, and a ton of hacking to get the damn thing installed, here's the quick way to install TISCH, a program that can use your Kinect to control your mouse like in Minority Report (WARNING: unfortunatly the program currrently seg falts for me) :

if you are runing Maverick or earlier, you can just install the PPA as instrcuted on the TISH website.

If youa running a more recent (aka CURRENT) version of ubuntu - DO NOT ADD THE PPA - it will not work.

Instead edit your /etc/apt/sources.list file (as root - use sudo) and include the lines:

# TISCH (ppa wasn't working)
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/floe/libtisch/ubuntu raring main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/floe/libtisch/ubuntu raring main
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/floe/libtisch/ubuntu maverick main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/floe/libtisch/ubuntu maverick main 



Then in a terminal type (copy / paste)

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install libtisch2 libtisch2-dev libtisch2-csharp libtisch2-java libtisch2-python
