I just did a clean install of mythbuntu 8.10 on the machine in question, and I'm not sure that the solution listed above is an adequate one to the problem.
When installing I was asked where the device for the remote was located and two choices were given (one was /dev/usb/hiddev0 and I cannot remember the other - probably /dev/lirc I guess). How is the average user supposed to be able to answer this question? I can only answer because of a fair bit of googling I did back when I submitted this bug report. Surely this can be determined automatically in some manner to avoid asking questions the user will be unable to give an answer for? In my case only one of the listed devices actually existed in /dev anyway, so what was the point of asking the question? -- lircd doesn't find dvico usb IR remote device correctly (expects /dev/lirc) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/238032 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
