Do you know the recommended driver for your device? The best thing to do is leave lircd not running. Unless you've copied a valid /etc/lircd.conf file over, it won't do any good really anyhow. I run (as root) "irrecord -H uirt2 --device /dev/ttyUSB0 test.conf" You should try replacing the uirt2 with either the driver that your IR receiver calls for, or simply use "irrecord --device /dev/something test.conf" where something is the device that your IR is actually connected to. I'll have some better instructions out in just a bit as I'm having some quick supper. I went back and redid my universal remote training with VCR code 0081 as talked about on the FedoraMythology page, and that seems to work good and give me more buttons on my remote. Even when lircd wasn't working, when I passed the right parameters to irrecord, I was able to get input from the remote.

Adam, Mat, and anyone else who can help,

I am having the same problem actually.  I am using a different remote control/tuner card (leadtek WinFast cool command) however.  I have been reading reading all of the lirc documentation over the last couple of days but its mostly for compiling the kernel mod and device yourself.  I am using the atrmps distro for all of my myth/lirc stuff and these are the packages I have installed:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# yum list *lirc*
Setting up repositories
Reading repository metadata in from local files
Installed Packages
lirc.i386                                0.8.0-54_cvs20060107.r installed      
lirc-devices.noarch                      0.7.0-1.rhfc4.at       installed      
lirc-kmdl-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4smp.i686      0.8.0-54_cvs20060107.r installed      
lirc-lib.i386                             0.8.0-54_cvs20060107.r installed      
lirc-lib-devel.i386                      0.8.0-54_cvs20060107.r installed 


I also just have a lircd  in the  /dev directory:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# ls -l /dev/lir*
srw-rw-rw-  1 root root 0 Jan 10 12:41 /dev/lircd

When i run "lircd -n as root I do not see any errors:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# lircd -n
lircd-0.8.0-CVS[2954]: lircd(userspace) ready
^H^H
lircd-0.8.0-CVS[2954]: caught signal
 
When I run irw it automatically kills my lircd if it is running, but does not sit there and listen for commands.  It just exits right away.  Is this the normal behavior?  I do remember at one time that when i ran irw is actually did receive a signal from one of the buttons on my remote, but unfortunately I have made the problem worse. 

Any help is definitely appreciated.   I can't wait to get this working so that I can transfer all of my myth commands from my leadtek remote to my all-in-on.   Now that will be impressive!

Thanks,

Seth

Well, this would be specific to the remote "receiver" you are using. I'm assuming that you are using the one that comes with the PVR-350.

What do you see when you run 'ls -l /dev/lir*' as root? You should at a minimum have an lircd file, but you may have an lirc0 file which might be the one to point to. Also tell me the output of running 'lircd -n' as root. You may have to run 'service lircd stop' first. Give me those and I'll check into some of the specific PVR-350 settings in the mean time. Lirc was a big problem for me as it seems that the directions are extremely vague for anyone not using the 250 and 150. Since I have a USB Uirt, I had to figure some of it out on my own. I still need to figure out how to rebuild Myth with lirc support built-in.
