strator@mythbox:~$ sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart * Stopping remote control daemon(s): LIRC [fail] * Loading LIRC modules [ OK ] * Unable to load LIRC kernel modules. Verify your * selected kernel modules in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1004239 Title: lirc installation error in Ubuntu 12.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lirc/+bug/1004239/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
