I can confirm this issue. I have to restart lirc to make it work too...
I own some kind of those chinese "x10 remotes" which i rund with lirc
and --driver=atilibusb. When i boot my computer lircd is running
$ ps aux | grep lircd
root 2881 0.0 0.0 18032 576 ? Ss 05:58 0:00
/usr/sbin/lircd --driver=atilibusb
nobody 3164 0.0 0.0 12360 508 ? Ss 05:58 0:00
/usr/sbin/inputlircd /dev/input/event0 /dev/input/event1 /dev/input/event2
/dev/input/event3 /dev/input/event4 /dev/input/event5 /dev/input/event6
/dev/input/event7
toff 14079 0.0 0.0 7532 904 pts/0 R+ 08:32 0:00 grep lircd
But when i try to get signals via
$ irw
nothing happens. irw doesn't give a single line of output. When i
restart lirc with
$ sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart
and repeat
$ irw
00000014e00b0000 00 program+ x10
00000014e00b0000 01 program+ x10
00000014e00b0000 02 program+ x10
00000014e00b0000 03 program+ x10
00000014e00b0000 04 program+ x10
...
irw reacts on key press. In other words, after a reboot i have to
restart lirc to make it work. I'm using here Ubuntu Jaunty 64-bit with
all the latest updates installed.
$ dpkg -l lirc* | grep ii
