hiya I have what appears to be the exact same issue. I had a working installation of lirc and lcdproc. I had applied the patch http://launchpadlibrarian.net/38821679/lirc-0.8.6-VFD_0x0036_timing.patch. This all broke when I upgraded the kernel.
the old version of the kernel is 2.6.32-22-generic-pae-i686, the new one is 2.6.32-25-generic-pae-i686. I have copied the module into the analogus directories as suggested but no joy. I'll try and recompile the mmodule and reapply the patch. -- lirc_imon.ko does not get installed through dkms https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563727 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mythbuntu Bug Team, which is subscribed to lirc in ubuntu.

The dkms output reads: lirc_imon.ko: Running module version sanity check. Error! Module version 0.6 for lirc_imon.ko is not newer than what is already found in kernel 2.6.32-21-generic (0.6). You may override by specifying --force. Fact is that the lirc_imon.ko provided by the default kernel does not work with the following imon controller: 15c2:ffdc SoundGraph Inc. iMON PAD Remote Controller Manually copying the module built by DKMS solves the problem sudo cp /var/lib/dkms/lirc/kernel-2.6.32-21-generic-i686/module/lirc_imon.ko /lib/modules/2.6.32-21-generic/updates/dkms/ It would be nice if dkms could copy this file regardless of the version available in the kernel (using the -f option?) _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
