Hello,
If you don't need any of the GIMX features (remapping, macros...), you can directly pair the DS4 with the PS3.
Otherwise, make sure your kernel version is 3.15 or higher. To get your kernel version, type "uname -a" without quotes in a terminal.

A quick search with Ubuntu and Dualshock 4 as keywords gave this interesting result:

I can't provide any help without more input. I did not try it myself. Please explain what you did.

i set-up DS4DRV from that link you posted, then, i start DS4DRV, then i open up Gimx, hit start so GIMX works, then the moment GIMX tries to access the bluetooth adapter, DS4DRV disconnects, stopping the controller
