Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: lirc
Ubuntu: Natty 11.04
lirc version: 0.8.7-0ubuntu4.1
I have a Itron IR receiver with a remote, USB, MCE compatible.
I install lirc from synaptic, select /dev/input/eventX and
/dev/input/by-id/usb-ItronIR_Itron_Infrared_Transceiver_MI1007DX-event-if00
No edits/changes in setup files yet.
"irw" does not produce any output.
ir-keytable shows the following:
Found /sys/class/rc/rc1/ (/dev/input/event3) with:
Driver mceusb, table rc-rc6-mce
Supported protocols: NEC RC-5 RC-6 JVC SONY LIRC
Enabled protocols: LIRC
Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 33 ms
it is obvious that the protocol I need for my MCE remote is not enabled.
If I edit /etc/lirc/hardware.conf:
#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES="true"
and change to
#Try to load appropriate kernel modules
LOAD_MODULES="false"
and restart lirc, ir-keytable gives
Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event2) with:
Driver mceusb, table rc-rc6-mce
Supported protocols: NEC RC-5 RC-6 JVC SONY LIRC
Enabled protocols: NEC RC-5 RC-6 JVC SONY LIRC
Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 33 ms
Now "irw" gives proper output and the remote works.
Please change the default setting in hardware.conf, or otherwise prevent
lirc to disable the kernel driver protocols when devinput is used.
