 |
|
I´ve got an ir reciever and I have lirc installed, but when I have loaded the lirc_serial and the serial port. It worked on my s.u.s.e dist before i installed gentoo, I have the old configs from suse which worked fine like /etc/lircd.conf, and .lircrc in my home catalog.. i have done a mknod /dev/lirc c 61 0, which i read here on the forum, when i try to do mode2 it starts fine but the ir reciever doesnt react!!! how come,   |

In my case I had to add the device in the init script (/etc/init.d/lircd):
| Code: | #!/sbin/runscript
# Copyright 1999-2002 Gentoo Technologies, Inc.
# Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, v2 or later
depend()
{
need net
}
start()
{
ebegin "Starting lircd"
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/lircd -- --device=/dev/lirc/0
eend $?
}
stop()
{
ebegin "Stopping lircd"
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/lircd -- --device=/dev/lirc/0
eend $?
}

Perhaps, you need something similar... |

This should be made sticky :d
It was the answer too my problem too. Irexec just said "Couldn't connect to socket" but now it works like a charm again! |

Hi,
my init script looks like above, but does not contain 'device=/dev/lirc/0'.
I have also made mknod.
In my /etc/modules.d I have created a file lircd, with the following content:
alias char-major-61 lirc_serial
options lirc_serial irq=4 io=0x3F8
Is this file neccesary or not?

| I know it might sound stupid, but did you run update-modules after creating the lirc-file? |

| Where did you guys get your config files from? I've got a Packard Bell Fast Media Remote I was thinking I could setup. I've googled a bit but only seem to find dead-links to the configs... |

On http://www.lirc.org there are a bunch of sample config files. If it isn't there you can still create it yourself, with irrecord. But don't know how that works precisely  |

Hi,
I did 'update-modules' of course.
To get the codes for my IR i did record them with irrecord.
