Public bug reported: lirc and corresponding tools changed the daemon socket from /dev/lircd to /var/run/lirc/lircd. Everything expects it there.
inputlirc still opens /dev/lircd. Workaround: symlink from /var/run/lirc/lircd to /dev/lircd, e.g. in the init file ** Affects: inputlirc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/864133 Title: daemon socket /dev/lircd != lirc default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/inputlirc/+bug/864133/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
