Title: lircd start problem Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: If no one else is having lircd(8) problems, ignore this bug report and I will make a work around for me. After upgrading from 13.<what-ever- current> to 14.04 my IR remote stopped working, no output from irw(1) or mode2(1). After some digging I found it worked right if I started lircd(8) with no argument. Please note the lines below: # grep REMOTE_SOCKET /etc/lirc/hardware.conf REMOTE_SOCKET="" # service lirc start # ps -ef | grep lirc root 4601 2201 0 11:34 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/lircd --output=/run/lirc/lircd --device=/dev/lirc0 # irw (does not work) (So I set REMOTE_SOCKET to default settings per manual stating what default is) # grep REMOTE_SOCKET /etc/lirc/hardware.conf REMOTE_SOCKET="/var/run/lirc/lircd" # service lirc start # ps -ef | grep lirc root 4694 2201 0 11:42 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/lircd --output=/var/run/lirc/lircd --device=/dev/lirc0 (it looks right but) # irw (does not work) # ps -ef | grep lirc root 4694 2201 0 11:42 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/lircd --output=/var/run/lirc/lircd --device=/dev/lirc0 # service lirc stop (copy command from ps output above and past it as a command) # /usr/sbin/lircd --output=/var/run/lirc/lircd --device=/dev/lirc0 # irw (it works) (I know this is usually an environment issue so here is my environment before launching the above /usr/sbin/lircd) # env SHELL=/bin/bash TERM=xterm OLDPWD=/etc/init.d USER=root SUDO_USER=dan SUDO_UID=1000 USERNAME=root MAIL=/var/mail/root PATH=/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin PWD=/ LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHLVL=1 SUDO_COMMAND=/bin/bash HOME=/home/dan LANGUAGE=en_US LOGNAME=root LESSOPEN=| /usr/bin/lesspipe %s SUDO_GID=1000 DISPLAY=:0.0 LESSCLOSE=/usr/bin/lesspipe %s %s XAUTHORITY=/home/dan/.Xauthority _=/usr/bin/env ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: ubuntu-release-upgrader-core 1:0.220.2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-24.46-generic 3.13.9 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CrashDB: ubuntu CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Thu Apr 24 11:03:22 2014 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-02-06 (441 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.5) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: ubuntu-release-upgrader Symptom: dist-upgrade UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to trusty on 2014-04-24 (0 days ago) VarLogDistupgradeTermlog: To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/1312287/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
