I'm still getting this problem on my Mythbuntu box running Intrepid 8.10 with the latest LIRC package mentioned above (lirc0.8.3-0ubuntu2).
My remote control was working fine in Hardy 8.04 but since upgrading the remote does not work while Xorg is running, and I see the same error message "can't get exclusive access to events comming from /dev/input /dvb-ir" in /var/log/syslog. If I stop GDM and run irw everything works fine, then if I start GDM and re-run irw it no longer recognises any button presses apart from the numbers and up/down/left/right. This is with a Hauppauge Nova-T 500 tuner with the supplied remote control. Let me know if I can supply any more info. -- lirc based applications can not get exclusive access to /dev/input interface https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164627 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
