I've had the same problem. Very repeatable: Install packages for lirc on fresh install of gutsy, create config files, no output. Remove packages, download SVN, compile, reuse same config files (and same kernel, etc) and success.
It seems a bug was introduced into 0.8.2 and continues to exist in 0.8.3pre1 (current package for hardy). In SVN this problem has been resolved. LIRC has very limited functionality and an upgrade for hardy is strongly recommended. -- lirc_serial loads but does not work (Gutsy 7.10 + Hardy 8.04) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/182530 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
