Here is the hardy fix. ** Attachment added: "lirc-modules-source hardy patch" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/14982887/lirc-sru.debdiff
** Description changed: Binary package hint: lirc Problem: After the upgrade to hardy, `modprobe lirc_i2c` (or any other lirc kernel module in /var/lib/dkms/lirc/0.8.3~pre1/2.6.24-16-generic/i686/module) complained of "invalid module format". Found workaround: Remove lirc kernel modules: `sudo dkms remove -m lirc -v 0.8.3~pre1 --all` Rebuild lirc kernel modules: `sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc-modules-source` ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Thu Apr 17 19:33:40 2008 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.04 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: lirc 0.8.3~pre1-0ubuntu7 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcEnviron: SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=/home/username/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/home/username/bin LANG=en_CA.UTF-8 SourcePackage: lirc Uname: Linux 2.6.24-16-generic i686 + + -------- + The lirc-modules-source package was designed to be agnostic to ABI bumps, letting users compile their own kernel modules easily. Unfortunately, due to this bug, that behavior doesn't work at all. The wrong kernel headers get used upon every upgrade. + + There is a patch available on the intrepid branch of lirc. + + Test Case: + 1) Install lirc-modules-source on any single kernel + 2) Attempt to modprobe an of the kernel objects in /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/updates/dkms/lirc* + 3) Install another kernel image. + 4) Boot into that kernel image and try to modprobe the kernel object by the same name. + + You will be unable to load that second object. ** Tags removed: apport-bug -- upgrade to hardy breaks lirc 0.8.3pre1 kernel modules https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/218955 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
