Ubuntu Edgy Kernel 2.6.18.1 Ivtv 0.8.1 Lirc lirc-0.8.1pre2 I have been trying to get the remote up and running.
I had a different thread attempting to use lirc_i2c: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/ivtv/users/33057?search_string=whistle %20sound;#33057 The problem with using lirc_i2c resulted in: [ 44.670400] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61 [ 44.681445] lirc_i2c: no version for "lirc_unregister_plugin" found: kernel tainted. I could never modprobe anything. My current attempt is to use lirc_mceusb2. I have seen other people indicate they are using it with success. The HowTo I am following is: http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/LIRC_on_Ubuntu_Edgy_Eft modprobe lirc_mceusb2 dmesg | tail [ 33.489434] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61 [ 33.497416] lirc_mceusb2: no version for "lirc_get_pdata" found: kernel tainted.

Edit /modprobe/aliases vim /etc/modprobe.d/aliases alias char-major-61 lirc_mceusb2 Given my machine uses /dev/lirc0 not /dev/lirc/0, I added: vim /usr/src/lirc-0.8.1pre2/contrib/lirc.rules KERNEL="lirc[0-9]*", NAME="lirc%n", MODE="0666" mv /usr/src/lirc-0.8.1pre2/contrib/lirc.rules /etc/udev/rules.d/90-lirc.rules mv /etc/lircmd.conf /etc/lirc/ mv /etc/lircd.conf /etc/lirc/ Any reason for 90-lirc.rules? Thought it might have been 61-lirc.rules? [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/X11# /etc/init.d/lirc start Starting lirc daemon: lircd lircmd. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/X11# ps ax |grep lirc 31918 ?

Any ideas on why irw does not respond? I am not positive what entries to use in /etc/lircd.conf, I used this entry: http://lirc.cvs.sourceforge.net/lirc/lirc/remotes/hauppauge/lircd.conf.haupp auge?revision=5.4&view=markup But I am not sure if I should use something else since I went the mceusb2 instead of the i2c route. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc# less /etc/lirc/hardware.conf # /etc/lirc/hardware.conf # # Arguments which will be used when launching lircd LIRCD_ARGS="" #Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file #START_LIRCMD=false #Try to load appropriate kernel modules LOAD_MODULES=true # Run "lircd --driver=help" for a list of supported drivers.

Not sure how to move forward from here. TIA, Dave _______________________________________________ ivtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://ivtvdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/ivtv-users
