i am now proofing a workaround. i have set a cronjob that does "service lirc restart" every ten minutes. i have the feeling that it is better now, but indeed not solved. yesterday the lirc service locked up again.
I am running an usb wlan-adapter, maybe that confuses lirc, i will test this next time. let's see what happens unplugging it -- lirc 0.8.6-0ubuntu2 with lirc_imon locks up after a short time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/483795 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mythbuntu Bug Team, which is subscribed to lirc in ubuntu.
