Hi Sudip,

I've already used these packages with one of my wiimotes on an earlier
version of Ubuntu. And they worked fine.

I see that the packages wminput and wmgui are only available on Jammy
(22.04) and above, based on
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=wminput

I started a live-USB of Ubuntu Focal 20.04.6 on a PC, and apt indeed
does not find wminput or wmgui. I suspect it's because of the
python2->python3 switch, at that time.

So I started a live-USB of Ubuntu Bionic 18.04.6 on the same PC, and
could install the 3 packages (they don't show up in
https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=wminput because this Ubuntu
version is not supported any more)

I can confirm that it works fine on Ubuntu 18.04: wminput displays a
"Ready." message after pairing with the wiimote, and buttons/gyroscope
of the wiimote have the expected effect on the Ubuntu desktop: move
cursor or pointer

$ sudo wminput <my-mac-address-coming-from-lswm>
Put Wiimote in discoverable mode now (press 1+2)...
Ready.

wmgui also works fine on Ubuntu 18.04: sensors and buttons states are
properly shown

NB: after pairing the wiimote with Ubuntu 18.04, its leds are all off,
just like on Ubuntu 22.04 or 24.04. So what I suspected to be a
"crashed" state of the wiimote seems to be its normal state with
wminput/wmgui
