Please Help: /etc/init.d/lirc fails but sudo lircd -d /dev/ttyUSB0 works

[Kristian L. <kri...@ho...>]

Hi

I have my own tira-code-based remote (B&O Beo4 on a custom future techs USB dongle).

 

When starting the lircd daemon with "sudo /etc/init.d/lirc start" it is ok

Then running irw makes the daemon disappear.

 

When running "sudo lircd -d /dev/ttyUSB0" irw works fine and returns the expected.

 

I actually have "Elisa" (www.fluendo.com) up and running using lirc and my Beo4 remote (its great!)

 

The hardware.conf file has all the REMOTE variables set to "", except REMOTE_DRIVER = "tira" (I crashed the network on the machine so I do not have the real conf-file here - sorry)

 

 

Which of the other variables should point to "/dev/ttyUSB0" ?

Should I mention "/dev/lircd" anywhere?

 

I tried different combinations, but could not seem to make it work.

 

Does the "sudo /etc/init.d/lirc start" run in another context than "sudo lircd -d /dev/ttyUSB0" ?

 

Best Regards,

Kristian Lippert
