http://askubuntu.com – I'm hoping someone here will have some insight. I'm trying to get LIRC working with an old IRman serieal receiver through a USB-Serial adapter and am having some difficulty getting lirc to see any input from the IRman. Here are some details: I am using the Mythbuntu packaged version of LIRC, this is version 0.9.0. The USB-Serial adapter I am using is a Prolific PL2303 based device which Ubuntu udev has located at /dev/ttyUSB0 I have the lines REMOTE_DRIVER="irman" and REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/ttyUSB0" in my /etc/lirc/hardware.conf file. When I run "irrecord test3" I get: irrecord - applicati (HowTos)

I was reading about lirc (lirc.org/html/configure.html), which describes /etc/lirc/lircrc as the "configuration information of all clients in one place." So I wrote a simple lirc bind in /etc/lirc/lircrc which launches xbmc when I press a button on my remote:

Quote:

begin prog = irexec button = KEY_HOME config = xbmc end

I have an IR Reciever that works great at my first serial port ttyS0

I just installed 2 more serial ports via PCI card. I have an IR Blaster installed at ttyS2

echo "TEST TEST" >> /dev/ttyS2

makes the IR LED light up, so It is confirmed working.

I am trying to configure my remote. The good news, is that it "Just worked". Meaning: I plugged it in, ran the gnome-lirc-properties and now I can control some parts of my desktop with it.

It seems, though, that it is not lirc handling it. I have killed lircd.

So I have a lola remote control (model: ur89a) that can with a usb dongle receiver (model: cm19a). LIRC has a configuration file for the remote but not the receiver, and I can't figure out how to get the receiver to be recognized.

Hi,

I'm having problems with my remote control using lirc. I've searched in some places, but don't find the solution yet.

My notebook is a hp dv6985 (dv6 series) and everything else is working.

Kernel Linux 2.6.30.8-64.fc11.x86_64

Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5750 @ 2.00GHz

I have Pinnacle's Analog TV PCI card with remote (IR) controller. I want to use this remote controller to control XBMC.

I've read that I need LIRC daemon so I installed it (sudo apt-get install lirc) and selected Pinnacle Systems PCTV (pro) reciever as Remote control configuration (during LIRC setup). For IR transmitter I selected none (AFAIK I don't have it).

I'm trying to get a new installation of Mythbuntu working. So far, everything is OK except the remote.

[ubuntu] 12.10 lirc problems 30 weeks 7 hours ago

Hello,

first of all, when I boot into Windows 7, the IR is working fine!

I have a ASRock FM2A75 µATX board, which has a CIR port and I attached an IR module. My remote is a Harmony 555 set to MCE Keyboard. I am running minimal Ubuntu 12.10 and installed lirc.

My hardware.conf is the following:

Code: REMOTE="Windows Media Center Transceivers/Remotes (all)" REMOTE_MODULES

I have installed lirc, and I want to use irexec to control my music player daemon (mpd) using mpc commands from my mce remote control. Works fine, except for one thing:

If I want to edit the /etc/lirc/lircrc file to map the remote control buttons to commands, I need to reboot in order to read in and use the edited lircrc button/command definition file.
