Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: lirc
I have installed lirc along with btlirc package (java application for
mobile phone that allows controlling lirc over bluetooth) and everything
works, but there is one small bug - there is socket /dev/lircd, which
works correctly (irw /dev/lircd works as expected), but socket
/var/run/lirc/lircd doesn't exist, so mplayer doesn't detect LIRC (and I
think every other application won't). I have made a workaround; I have
added this code to /etc/rc.local (before final exit 0), which fixes this
problem:
if [ ! -d /var/run/lirc ]; then
sudo mkdir /var/run/lirc
sudo ln -s /dev/lircd /var/run/lirc/lircd
fi
