[Bug 787735] Re: Snapstream Firefly non-functional

2016-11-01 Thread Alec Leamas
This bug is old.

The loast release (0.9.4c - zesty) deals with this. Actually the default
configuration  (--driver devinput --device auto) should cover the
devinput case. Here is also new documentation on how to setup the
default driver (also available at http://lirc.org/html/configuration-
guide.html.  Clsoing.

I read that and it didn't make much sense.  It doesn't tell me when I
would want devinput.  The (scarce) advice it gives about what device
to use with it was different than what you told me.  It tells me how
to list possible event devices, but not how to pick which one is
right.  Most of it is how to debug HAL conflicts and HAL is a (scary)
mystery to me (and most users).

Also, the lircd documentation (http://www.lirc.org/html/lircd.html)
never tells me what are the valid values for --driver (or how to find
that if they are dynamic).  It has some vague words about dev/input
and match strings, but it doesn't make sense to me.  Some examples
here would be gold.

Firefly is listed in http://www.lirc.org/html/table.html
There is also a devinput listing later on, but it isn't clear when to
use that.  I saw an entry that matches what I see in front of me and
used that.

I read that link and it didn't succeed in answering any of the questions

Some documented examples that list every step would help.  I looked at
the spawned lircd to see exactly what hardware.conf was doing, but I
had nothing to compare it to.  As I said before, it isn't clear what
the possible drivers are, what devices would go with them, or (in the
case of devinput) what search strings to use.

True.  I never got any output, so I could really determine if it made
sense.

I didn't know about modinfo.  Now that I know... it doesn't actually
give much information.  The descriptions are very short and
finding/reading the source is beyond my attention span.

I don't want to find and join yet another mailing list just to debug a
hardware setup.  It would be different if this was bleeding edge
hardware, but this configuration used to work and now doesn't.
Mailing lists are for developers - not users.

See prior link.

hardware.conf is a Debian creation that Ubuntu inherited from there.
Upstream lirc has nothing to do with it, so I can't help there.


> What lircd.conf is needed for the above steps (and why).

The question of which lircd.conf is covered at that link. The why
is because all devinput devices have keys mapped to the standard
linux input layer key namespace, as defined in include/linux/input.h,
so its impossible for a key to have any other value than the ones
that are defined in that config.

'modinfo ' is usually a start. You could also ask about
them on the lirc or linux-media mailing lists.

They're in-kernel decoders for raw IR hardware, used to map raw IR
scancodes to linux input layer key namespace.


> Are they stepping on the user's configuration?

In this case, no, not at all. The firefly is RF. The IR decoders only
have something to do if your receiver passes along raw IR samples.

Well, the mythbuntu control panel is another piece of software that is
completely and totally out of upstream lirc's control. I've never even
seen it, let alone tried to use it. If its broken, well, that's on the
people who maintain it. A fair amount has changed in the IR world lately,
and its all been discussed 100% in the open on the lirc and linux-media
mailing lists. (Nb: if it wasn't already understood, I don't actually
use Ubuntu myself).

Honestly, I have to blame hardware.conf's auto-population thing that
the lirc deb runs and/or the mythbuntu control center for most of this.
Its actually *very* simple to set these things up by hand. It seems
like the tooling is just out of date with reality.

Yes and no. I do know that a central documentation repository kept up
to date with the latest and greatest information for how to configure
every remote under the sun would be helpful. I just don't have the
time to create such a thing. I do answer quite a bit of email on the
aforementioned mailing lists though. The mythbuntu control center and
hardware.conf issues are well out of my control though.

Ya, but that's not something an ordinary user knows how to figure out.
 I couldn't find any docs on how to setup devinput, what it is, or
when to use it.

It's not at all clear from the documentation how to find and debug
each of these steps:
Which driver (the docs say the atilibusb driver is right, not
ati_remote; but everything has changed in recent kernels).
What device (I didn't know which directory to look in the device tree,
which device file to pick, or why).
What configuration lircd needs for that (hardware.conf setup isn't
actually documented).
What lircd.conf is needed for the above steps (and why).
What .lirc/mythtv file (actually, once irw works, this step isn't so hard).

To make it even worse, what are the ir_* drivers that seems to get
loaded automatically?  I couldn't find any info on them.  Are they
stepping on the user's configuration?

The mythbuntu control panel is supposed to make this easy, but it was
crashing on me, and it's configuration was broken in 10.10 and 11.04.

The software stack may work, but user's can't figure it out.  I don't
want to belittle much hard work, but things don't look good from a
user perspective.

Thanks you for all your effort.  I hope this view from a user's
perspective is constructive (but it feels like I'm whining about
something I got for free :-).

Nope.  Nothing worked for me.  The one thing I didn't try was building
lirc 0.9.0 from source (Ubuntu shipps 0.8.7).

I bought a media center edition remote:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16880121003&Tpk=80-121-003
There is a bug with it doubling every button press, but the solution
is here:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=10709651#post10709651
I can send you my .lirc/mythtv if you want it (based on the one from
the mce remote wiki page).

If someone wants a Firefly for debugging purposes, I can contribute
mine.

ati_remote apparently doesn't have everything in the driver properly
wired up for udev to create the persistent symlink in by-id/, so you'll
have to use some other means of discovery. You can point straight to a
/dev/input/eventX device, or by name or phys, per
http://lirc.org/html/devinput.html.

I think you are saying that REMOTE_DEVICE should be set to one of these:
$ ls /dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-*
/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-event-kbd@
/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-event-mouse@
/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-if01-event-mouse@
/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-if01-mouse@
/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-mouse@

The only one that made sense to me was the kbd one.

Here is my hardware.conf file (skipping empty entries):
$ grep '="[A-Za-z0-9]' hardware.conf
REMOTE="ATI/NVidia/X10 RF Remote (ati_remote)"
REMOTE_MODULES="ati_remote"
REMOTE_DRIVER="devinput"
REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="atiusb/lircd.conf.atiusb"
TRANSMITTER="None"
START_LIRCD="true"
FORCE_NONINTERACTIVE_RECONFIGURATION="false"

cp /usr/share/lirc/remotes/devinput/lircd.conf.devinput /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
service lirc restart

I still get nothing through irw.

Here is how lircd is getting run:
$ ps ax | grep -i lirc 
 7360 ?Ss 0:00 /usr/sbin/lircd --output=/var/run/lirc/lircd 
--driver=devinput --device=/dev/input/by-id/usb-Logitech_USB_Receiver-event-kbd

This is made harder because there is no documentation about what the
possible --driver values are!  I'm running out of patience for this.
lirc had bad gaps in documentation and is very hard to debug.  Not fun.

[Bug 787735] Re: Snapstream Firefly non-functional

2011-05-24 Thread Jarod Wilson
Okay, dmesg looks much better. I'm assuming some "helpful" Ubuntu lirc
package bit is adding that blacklist file. Remove it. Let ati_remote
load. Instruct lircd to use the 'devinput' driver, with device
'/dev/input/by-id/', and the lircd.conf.devinput config
provided by lirc. Dunno how or if that's doable with the mythbuntu
control center stuff, but its certainly doable by simply editing
/etc/lirc/hardware.conf and lircd.conf by hand.

I didn't create /etc/modprobe.d/lirc-blacklist, some package did (I had
assumed it was lirc, but I can't find it in the package manifest and I'm
not sure how to search for what package owns what file).

I'm not sure what you're saying about ati_remote.  The lirc
configuration has been noting but confusion to me.  That only
configuration that I ever had working (in 9.10 - 10.4) used the
lirc_atiusb module .

I removed lirc-modules-source and rebooted.  See new dmesg.  Still not
operational with atilibusb.

Also, from dmesg:

Please, please, please, remove the travesty that is lirc-modules-source
and all its remnants. Its never going to work on 2.6.38.

Ah, so you've blacklisted ati_remote, ok, that makes more sense then.
But why do that? Let ati_remote load, and then use lircd's devinput
mode. (Not that atilibusb shouldn't work too).

lsusb and dmesg output after a clean boot please. My suspicion: the in-
kernel ati_remote driver is already bound to it.
