Re: asus dh insallation problem on ubuntu

[Jake B. <ja...@co...>]

Try this :

ps -A | grep 20076

If you get an output that looks something like :

[username@host ~]$ ps -A | grep 20076
20076 ?        00:00:13 lircd
[username@host ~]$

then lircd is already running. You could kill it with :

kill -9 20076

then make sure the file

/var/run/lircd/pid

doesn't exist.

if your output looks something like this :

[username@host ~]$ ps -A | grep 20076
[username@host ~]$

Then the lircd process is not running, but that file says it is. Delete 
/var/run/lircd/pid.
