We really do appreciate you opening this ticket to help improve Mythbuntu, but it needs to be closed for a number of reasons. The biggest one is that upstream has moved on to a new version and believes this to be fixed. Could you please verify if this issue still exists in the latest version?
Please do not let the closing of this ticket dissuade you from opening a new ticket if this (or any other) problem occurs with the newer versions. ** Changed in: mythbuntu Status: Incomplete => Expired -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lirc in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/505705 Title: irexec isn't started automatically on existing installs Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV: Expired Status in lirc package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Irexec does not start with the lirc service on 9.10 (Ubuntu+MythTV, not Mythbuntu). In my testing, it seems that the following line might be the issue. (from /etc/init.d/lirc) start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo --exec /usr/bin/irexec -- -d /etc/lirc/lircrc < /dev/null I've compared my two systems and there doesn't seem to be that big of difference (one is Mythbuntu, the other is Ubuntu+MythTV). The Mythbuntu system works correctly where the Ubuntu+MythTV does not. /etc/lirc/lircrc does not exist on either system. If I edit the line to just start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo --exec /usr/bin/irexec -- Then it does work, but it stays in the terminal and thus is not really a viable option.
