<font face="DejaVu Sans">Hi,<br>
<br>
I am using the lirc packages found in Debian Unstable for the 3rd
remote from the left on this page -
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MCE_Remote:">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/MCE_Remote:</a><br>
<br>
# dpkg -l | grep lirc<br>
ii liblircclient0
0.9.0~pre1-1 infra-red remote control support -
client library<br>
ii lirc
0.9.0~pre1-1 infra-red remote control support<br>
ii lirc-x
0.9.0~pre1-1 infra-red remote control support -
X utilities<br>
<br>
I am using the following kernel - 2.6.38-2.dmz.1-liquorix-686<br>
<br>
The problem is that when mythtv boots, the arrow keys work but not
the other keys. Strangely the frontend log shows<br>
<br>
LIRC, Error: Failed to connect to Unix socket '/dev/lircd'<br>
eno: No such file or directory (2)<br>
<br>
even though the arrow keys on the remote work. Also the file
exists<br>
<br>
# ls -la /dev/lirc*<br>
crw-rw---- 1 root video 250, 0 Apr 30 2011 /dev/lirc0<br>
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Apr 29 22:54 /dev/lircd ->
../var/run/lirc/lircd<br>
<br>
But if I try to run irw, I get the following:<br>
<br>
# irw<br>
connect: No such file or directory<br>
<br>
When I then run lircd -d /dev/lirc0, irw returns:<br>
<br>
# irw<br>

<br>
for each single key press.<br>
<br>
At this point, if I restart mytrhtv, all the keys work however
with the problem that each key press results in the keys being
repeated. And mythtv picks up lirc<br>
<br>
LIRC: Successfully initialized '/dev/lircd' using
'/home/mythtv/.lircrc' config<br>
<br>
I used my old lircd.conf in /etc/lirc which was working
previously. However the same is experienced even when using
/usr/share/lirc/remotes/mceusb/lircd.conf.mceusb<br>
<br>
This seems to be the dmesg portion<br>
