I am also having the same issue. I recently purchased an HP Pavilion DV7 series laptop. It comes with an IR port and a card sized mce remote. Ubuntu does not detect the IR port. I have attempted every work around that I could find online from google and ubuntuforums. I did notice several other people complaining about the same thing. Some say a few buttons work, some say none of them work. I've installed lirc and gnome- lirc-properties, also tried irda-utils. No matter what options I select the port is either not detected or the buttons I press do not respond.
The remote works fine in Windows so I know its not a problem with the remote or the port. Also there are no settings in the BIOS for the IR port so I cannot configure anything there. I have tested this using the 32bit and 64bit version of Intrepid as well as the 64bit version of Jaunty Alpha6. All of them have the same results. When attempting irw it acts as though its waiting for feedback but when I press any of the buttons I get nothing on the screen. When I do a cat /dev/ttyS[1-3], as suggested in some of the work arounds online, I receive an IO error on each one. -- HP Pavilion HDX 9050 EG no IR port detected https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213587 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
