Post subject:	R6: Question about lirc
Hi All, I've upgraded to R6, so far so good. Once thing ive had to do for the last few upgrades (R5.5 and earlier) is modify/replace certain files like lircd, hardware.conf, lircd.conf, and lircrc. For example Code: /etc/init.d/lircd - needed to change the start-stop-daemon line /etc/lirc/hardware.conf - needed to change the DRIVER and DEVICE lines /etc/lirc/lircd.conf - needed to replace with my AvermediaA777 generated file /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc - replaced with my custom button mapping In R6, I can only determine so far the following files Code: /etc/lircd.conf /etc/lircrc - symlink to /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc Does anyone know where the other files are, or if they are needed? also, a second thing... i'm fighting to get a udev rule in place to symlink a /class/input/inputx to map to /dev/irremote, as the inputx changes on boot sometimes. I'm not having any luck getting udev to get arch to recognise it? /etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules Code: KERNEL=="event*", ATTRS{modalias}=="input:b0001v1461p2C05e0001-e0,1,14,k71,72,73 ,74,77,80,8E,A7,A8,CF,D2,D9,172,174,179,17F,184,188,189,18E,18F,190,191,192,193, 19A,ramlsfw", SYMLINK+="input/irremote" Cheers, Nathan

ok, so now i can manually start the lircd daemon up, and get my remote working.... I achieved this by editing /etc/conf.d/lircd to be Code: # # Parameters for lirc daemon # #LIRC_DEVICE="/dev/lirc0" LIRC_DEVICE="/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:01:08.0-event-" #LIRC_DRIVER="" LIRC_DRIVER="devinput" LIRC_EXTRAOPTS="" LIRC_CONFIGFILE="" now, from my limited understanding... when i issue this command Code: lircd -H devinput -d "/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:01:08.0-event-" I can get the remote working.... the complicated device seems to be a symlink to a consistent pci address, as the event numbers change on every boot... NOW... i cant for the life of me figure out how to get this to start on boot... I've looked at the runit stuff, the rc.d stuff... and i cant figure out where to add lircd to start at boot... or atleast get it to take my parameters if it is trying to start already... For example, i added this to my /etc/runit/1 file Code: lircd -H devinput -d "/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:01:08.0-event-" 2>/dev/null reboot, no working... Ideas? Nathan

Try: Code: # add_service.sh lircd

after a little more research the service appears to have been added on install.. its in /etc/sv, which i believe is what the add_service.sh script does? I've managed to hack into /etc/sv/lircd/run, and change the part to make it work... Code: if [ "$run_lircd2" = "true" ] then $lircd2_cmd 2>/dev/null 1>/dev/null #exec /usr/sbin/lircd -n -d $DEVICE --output /dev/lircd1 --listen 2>/dev /null 1>/dev/null exec /usr/sbin/lircd -n -H devinput -d "/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:01:0 8.0-event-" 2>/dev/null 1>/dev/null else #exec /usr/sbin/lircd -n -d $DEVICE 2>/dev/null 1>/dev/null exec /usr/sbin/lircd -n -H devinput -d "/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:01:0 8.0-event-" 2>/dev/null 1>/dev/null fi Works most of the time on boot, apart from every now and then when it doesnt seem to start... more investigation required i think Nathan

No. While /etc/sv is where the scripts are installed, the add_service.sh script puts a symbolic link to that in /var/service which "activates" it. This is like SysV init with the scripts in /etc/init.d and links to those in the various /etc/rc?.d directories which the update-rc.d utility creates.
