So, with a recent software upgrade (apt-get dist-upgrade), a few
problems seem to have been introduced into my system. I'm not
entirely sure what the cause is, and was wondering if someone else is
having similar trouble.
First, the specs on my system:
Its a Pentium3 Fedora Core 3 (Kernel 2.6.12-1.1372_FC3) system with a
PVR350 - I use the tv-out on the tv tuner card.
When the system boots up, if you do a /sbin/service --status-all, it
shows lircd running fine. As soon as you start a program that gets
input from lirc (MythTV, irw, etc.) the remote does not seem to work
(irw just returns to the command line with no output).
At this point, if you do a service --status-all you get the following:
lircd dead but subsys locked
I can restart lircd (/sbin/service lircd restart) and it restarts
successfully. status-all shows that it's running, but again, nothing
happens when you run irw.
I've set my system up per jarod's Fedora 3 guide, and everything
worked fine until the upgrade to the current kernel.
I also noticed that for some reason, there is no /dev/lirc There is a
/dev/lirc0 and a /dev/lircd. In /var/log/messages I see:
Sep 28 14:41:41 localhost lircd: lircd shutdown failed
Sep 28 14:41:41 localhost lircd-0.7.2[2034]: lircd(any) ready
Sep 28 14:41:41 localhost lircd: lircd startup succeeded
Sep 28 14:42:00 localhost lircd-0.7.2 [2034]: accepted new client on
/dev/lircd
Sep 28 14:42:00 localhost lircd-0.7.2[2034]: could not get file
information for /dev/lirc
Sep 28 14:42:00 localhost lircd-0.7.2[2034]: default_init(): No such
file or directory

user root by (uid=0)
Sep 28 14:42:02 localhost crond(pam_unix)[2038]: session closed for
user root
Any ideas?
Hi Jeff
Checkout Jarod guide. I noticed after I did the upgrade, the patching of
udev from Jarod http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php#lirc (scroll down
to Update) was gone. I applied the patch, rebootet and lirc worked again.
