Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Install lirc_0.8.5-0ubuntu3.
2. Install gnome-lirc-properties_0.3.1-0ubuntu2.
3. Run gnome-lirc-properties and click Auto-detect button.
Actual results:
The /etc/hardware.conf file is changed, the REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS="" line was
replaced with REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS="''" an the REMOTE_MODULES="" was replaced with
REMOTE_MODULES="''".
$ sudo /etc/init.d/lirc start
* Loading LIRC modules
[ OK ]
* Unable to load LIRC kernel modules. Verify your
* selected kernel modules in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
Expected results:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/lirc start
* Loading LIRC modules
[ OK ]
* Starting remote control daemon(s) : LIRC
[ OK ]
Now the /etc/init.d/lirc daemon can't start, because it does not
understand the hardware.conf file
This is not a lirc bug, it's a gnome-lirc-properties bug. Because gnome-
lirc-properties incorrectly changes the hardware.conf file.
Browsing in the gnome-lirc-properties source code, the shellquote.py file is
the problematic.
When receives a "" string return "''".
I attach a patch that resolves the problem.
** Attachment added: "This patch resolves the problem the quotes in the
hardware.conf file"
