Public bug reported: When an irman serial device is used via a usb serial convertor the default select timeout is not long enough to reliably receive transmitted codes. This means that buttons on the remote often have to be pressed mulitple times to have the desired effect.
It is shown by lircd when built with '--enable-debug' as: lircd: error reading code: "Connection timed out" This has been fixed in upstream cvs: http://lirc.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/lirc/libirman/irman.h?r1=1.2&r2=1.3 Although this change was made upstream a while ago it does not appear to have made it into a new release. http://lirc.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/lirc/libirman/irman.h?view=log indicates revision 1.2 of this file is the one in the 0.4.4 release currently used in jaunty. I have applied this patch to libirman-dev and rebuilt the lirc package to relink with the static library and can confirm codes are now reliably received. ** Affects: libirman (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- irman usb timeout https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/342347 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
