Ok, now I found a solution, what is working:

1. install bluetooth usb key on the turtlebot controller DESKTOP not on the turtlebot laptop
2. sudo bash
3. {edit /etc/bluetooth/main.conf - add line "DisablePlugins = input"}
4. "#rosrun ps3joy ps3joy.py"
5. roslaunch turtlebot_teleop ps3_teleop.launch

So, instead of installing the bluetooth dongle on the turtlebot laptop, I installed it on the controller computer. Strange, I think it should anyways work on both computers. It might have something to do with the device number /dev/input/js0 vs js1, as my desktop didn't have any js device originally and the turtlebot laptop did.

Ok, now I found the problem and the solution that works. The problem is caused by the accelerometer of the HP laptop that is mapped as /dev/input/js0. By disabling the accelerometer the issue is gone:

1. lsmod|grep accel --> this returns two lines in my case
2. sudo modprobe -r hp_accel
3. sudo modprobe -r lis3lv02d this is probably not the best solution, since it needs to repeated after a solution, what is working:reboot. blacklisting the modules could be better, but I haven't tested it yet.

The following steps are straightforward:

1. install bluetooth usb key on the turtlebot controller DESKTOP not on the turtlebot laptop
2. sudo bash
3. in order to stop Ubuntu automatically popping up the Bluetooth pairing dialog {edit /etc/bluetooth/main.conf - add line "DisablePlugins = input"}
4. "#rosrun ps3joy ps3joy.py"
5. roslaunch turtlebot_teleop ps3_teleop.launch

So, instead of installing the bluetooth dongle on the turtlebot laptop, Previously I installed tried to change the joystick to /dev/input/js1 by using rosparam set ... command. It worked for the rostopic echo /joy, but the roslaunch turtlebot_teleop ps3_teleop.launch always produced error, it on the controller computer. Strange, I think it should anyways work on both computers. It might have something to do with the device number /dev/input/js0 vs js1, as my desktop didn't have any js device originally and the turtlebot laptop did.is somewhere hardcoded to use the js0 device.
