Post subject:  lirc8 / MCE2 USB
Hi all.
I am attempting to get my mce version 2 remote working. I am following the instructions over here http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/MCE_Remote.

This part went well:
Code:
cd /usr/src
wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/lirc/lirc-0.8.0.tar.bz2
bunzip lirc-0.8.0.tar.bz2
tar -xvf lirc-0.8.0.tar
cd lirc-0.8.0


I then tried the automated installation script:
Code:
./setup.sh


After loading the appropriate drivers
Code:
Menu Option # (1) - Driver Configuration (enter)
Menu Option # (8) - USB Devices (enter)
Menu Option # (h) - Windows Media Center Remotes (new version, Philips et al.) (enter)

I pressed enter to
Code:
Menu Option # (3) - Save your configuration and run configure (enter)


I received the following error:
Code:
configure: error: *** you need to have the Linux kernel source installed
        for this driver


However I saw that the wiki said the following:
Quote:
If you get an error message that the "kernel source is required", it actually means the kernel headers. On my system this Ubuntu package was linux-kernel-headers-2.9.12-9-386 to match the version returned by the uname -a command. Installing the right version of the headers to match your kernel version is esssential. You may also need to install the gcc compiler.


So I entered the following command:
Code:
uname -a

and received the following output:
Quote:
Linux mythtv 2.6.15-chw-2 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Jan 5 08:10:40 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux


I'm not sure where to go from here. Thanks in advance

If you have an Nvidia based video card, the kernel source should have already been extracted in /usr/src/linux.

If the kernel source has not been extracted yet, it's easy to do.

As root, cd to /usr/src

Type:
Code:
tar jxvf kernel-source-2.6.15-chw-2.tar.bz2
(or do it the easy way - type tar jxvf kern then hit tab and the rest of the filename should be completed).

Hope that helps.

ah no dice.

BTW I have an ATI card which I managed to get working. Anyways heres what happened when I entered
Code:
cd /usr/src
tar jxvf kernel-source-2.6.15-chw-2.tar.bz2


It went through a whole bunch of things and ended with the following:
Code:
kernel-source-2.6.15-chw-2/arch/i386/boot/.setup.cmd
kernel-source-2.6.15-chw-2/arch/i386/boot/vmlinux.bin
kernel-source-2.6.15-chw-2/arch/i386/boot/.vmlinux.bin.cmd
kernel-source-2.6.15-chw-2/arch/i386/boot/bzImage

bzip2: Compressed file ends unexpectedly;
        perhaps it is corrupted?  *Possible* reason follows.
bzip2: Inappropriate ioctl for device
        Input file = (stdin), output file = (stdout)

It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.

You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover
data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.

tar: Read 3592 bytes from kernel-source-2.6.15-chw-2.tar.bz2
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now


Any ideas? Do you need me to post the complete output? Thanks for the help so far. Also, I upgraded bzip2 today, could that be causing the problem?

I vaguely remember seeing a similar message when my root partition was full. Try running
Code:
df -h
and post the results.

If your root partition is full, there are several posts which deal with the mysql log getting too large and how to fix it - this is (in my experience) the leading cause of a full root partition.

Here is the result:

Code:
root@mythtv:~# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1             4.7G  2.6G  1.9G  58% /
/dev/hda3             107G   84G   24G  78% /myth
tmpfs                 132M     0  132M   0% /dev/shm


Also weirdly my tv shows aren't showing up but they are there; however that is a separate topic. Any ideas?

What does
Code:
bunzip2 -tvv kernel-source-2.6.15-chw-2.tar.bz2
produce? You may very well have a corrupted file, as the errors suggest.

slowtolearn,

Code:
bunzip2 -tvv kernel-source-2.6.15-chw-2.tar.bz2


produces the following:

Code:
bunzip2: Can't open input kernel-source-2.6.15-chw-2.tar.bz2: No such file or directory.

Post subject: 
Ummm, you'll either need to be in the /usr/src directory, or add the /usr/src path:
Code:
bunzip2 -tvv /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.15-chw-2.tar.bz2

sorry :oops:

ok here is what that yields:

Code:
root@mythtv:~# bunzip2 -tvv /usr/src/kernel-source-2.6.15-chw-2.tar.bz2

Looks like your source tarball is corrupt. I don't know of any way to extract a fresh copy from the CD, sorry. Hopefully someone else here will have an idea...
