normal user - Permission denied

[Nagy B. <na...@gm...>]

Hi Folks!

Sorry for bothering this thread but I have red all the documentation and
searched the archives. Any help would be appreciated.

I should be able to start lircd as a normal user right? So for example
kdelirc can work with it?

bigb@linux-8j1v:~> /usr/sbin/lircd -d /dev/lirc0
lircd: could not assign address to socket
lircd: Permission denied


If I start as a root brings me nothing either, I am afraid there is
something with the access rights of my normal user. I have set many file
with 666 permission (googled the issue) nothing changes. The solution
should be trivial.

linux-8j1v:/home/bigb # lircd -d /dev/lirc0 --permission=666
linux-8j1v:/home/bigb # exit
exit
bigb@linux-8j1v:~> irw
(does nothing at all, I can hit any key)


I added a .lircrc file to my ~
Code:

# .lircrc - MPLAYER sample test
begin
    prog = irexec
    remote = mce_kdell
    button = key_a
    config = tvtime-command TOGGLE_FULLSCREEN
    repeat = 0
end

bigb@linux-8j1v:~> irexec
( notghing happens if I start tvtime and kit the key_a )


I am running a 64 bit Suse 11.2
LIRC 0.8.5-4.1 (installed it from the oss repo)

linux-8j1v:/home/bigb # lsmod
