Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu: New
Bug description:
Binary package hint: lirc
I have installed lirc along with btlirc package (java application for mobile
phone that allows controlling lirc over bluetooth) and everything works, but
there is one small bug - there is socket /dev/lircd, which works correctly (irw
/dev/lircd works as expected), but socket /var/run/lirc/lircd doesn't exist, so
mplayer doesn't detect LIRC (and I think every other application won't). I have
made a workaround; I have added this code to /etc/rc.local (before final exit
0), which fixes this problem:
if [ ! -d /var/run/lirc ]; then
sudo mkdir /var/run/lirc
sudo ln -s /dev/lircd /var/run/lirc/lircd
fi
Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala
lirc version 0.8.6-0ubuntu2
