Well, this command seems to do nothing but stopping GDM from working! When I type 'irw' still nothing happens! Let me demonstrate you changes in daemon log:
when I type 'sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart' I get: Mar 30 08:27:39 gryphon lircd-0.8.3[8823]: caught signal Mar 30 08:27:40 gryphon lircd-0.8.3[9102]: lircd(userspace) ready then I type 'irexec' and get: Mar 30 08:27:47 gryphon lircd-0.8.3[9102]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd Mar 30 08:27:47 gryphon lircd-0.8.3[9102]: initializing '/dev/input/event6' then I type 'irw' and get: Mar 30 08:30:37 gryphon lircd-0.8.3[9102]: accepted new client on /dev/lircd but when I press buttons on my remote, I still get no output! Maybe the problem I have is not associated with this bug in any way! -- lirc based applications can not get exclusive access to /dev/input interface https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164627 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
