I have been trying to diagnose an issue where my MythTV box (with an iMon LCD) occasionally hangs on shutdown. I have tracked the issue down to the lirc init script, and the line it freezes on is:-
in_kernel_support "enable" I still haven't figured out what this is function is doing yet, but searching has brought me here, and I also notice the following lines in dmesg:- imon 6-3:1.0: Looks like you're trying to use an IR protocol this device does not support imon 6-3:1.0: Unsupported IR protocol specified, overriding to iMON IR protocol My device is "15c2:0038 SoundGraph Inc. GD01 MX VFD Display/IR Receiver" running on Ubuntu 11.04. -- 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/824369 Title: ubuntu 11.04 - lirc init script sets invalid ir protocol for imon driver (imon Looks like you're trying to use an IR protocol this device does not support) Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have the following VFD + IR device...
