Public bug reported:
I am trying to get lirc going on my edgy system and I have come to the
point in the process where I have to install a "lirc-modules-source" and
run through a manual (i.e. at the command prompt) unpacking of a tarball
and build the modules.
Is this really as end-user-friendly as this process can get?
I really don't want to get into a pissing contest about which
distribution is better, but the one I am coming to Ubuntu from had all
of these modules in every kernel they released.
Even if they didn't, the "dkms" system in said distribution would have
handled this a whole lot better than it seems to be in Ubuntu.
Can we get this process cleaned up a bit so that it's not so "geeky"?
