Package: lirc Version: 0.8.3-5 Severity: normal Tags: patch
I intended this patch and comments to be added to bug #551706, but I'm not sure reportbug is doing the right thing. Crossing my fingers. I was able to "fix" lirc on my system with the following patch: --- pkg/etc/init.d/lirc 2009-08-12 17:09:13.000000000 -0400 +++ /etc/init.d/lirc 2011-01-04 16:33:51.000000000 -0500 @@ -111,7 +111,8 @@ start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/lircd -- $LIRCD_ARGS < /dev/null log_end_msg $? else - log_end_msg 1 + start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/sbin/lircd < /dev/null + log_end_msg $? fi fi The patch allows one to run the daemon even if LIRCD_ARGS is empty. I think that is an important use case. But for me, I also had to set DEVICE="/dev/lirc0" in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf This contradicts the comment there. I am still puzzled about that one. Was the daemon compiled for /dev/lirc but the lirc_mceusb module sets up /dev/lirc0? If so, that should probably be fixed too. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages lirc depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.36 Debian configuration management sy ii libasound2 1.0.23-2.1 shared library for ALSA applicatio ii libc6 2.11.2-7 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii liblircclient0 0.8.3-5 infra-red remote control support - ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-16 userspace USB programming library ii lsb-base 3.2-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip lirc recommends no packages.
