I am running 10.04.1 on an Asus EB1012. I was able to work around this with the iguanair deb file that is currently on iguanaworks .net, iguanaIR-1.0.1-1.i386.deb, but the lirc package they had there, lirc_0.8.7~pre3-0ubuntu1_i386.deb, gave a broken install. I rm'ed it and used the link above in comment #23, and it works, but it is not exposed in their downloads section anymore. I followed their advice to issue the command "echo lirc hold| sudo dpkg --set-selections", although I am not sure it will work. Synaptic shows a bang in the icon button for lirc. I will have to wait and see what update manager tries to do with it.
>From what I gather here there is some problem upstream with including iguanaIR in Debian. Is this some sort of purity deal? Is there some legitimate reason support is not included? What is Debian ITP? I have been using and programming for UNIX for 25 years and even with all the wonderful features it still takes pretty much of an expert to get many things running. I have spent almost two full days to get this running. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mythbuntu Bug Team, which is subscribed to lirc in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153457 Title: iguanaIR support not functional Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in Debian GNU/Linux: Unknown Bug description: Binary package hint: lirc Upon installation (or dpkg-reconfigure) of the lirc package, the configuration gives me the option to support my iguanaworks USB IR receiver. Unfortunately, running lircd --driver=help suggests the lirc package doesn't have iguanaIR support compiled in to it. Can we add support for this? It turns out we need the iguana IR package in intrepid before we can get this resolved. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
