Post subject: | Error when executing lirc startupscript |
Hi, I have spent the last two night trying to get my new MCE(1039) remote working. The good think about the remote is that there is plenty of information on how to get it working under linux, but still I fail. The remote is detected in "dmesg" and "lsusb", I can run "lircd -n" and connect with "irw" that will present the correct pressed keys. Rebooting the frontend(CRTL-ALT-BACKSLASH) and it's working in MythTV(!). But the trouble is to get KnoppMyth to start "lircd" at boot! Since I have installed my own version of lirc, i have changed to path to the daemon in /etc/init.d/lirc from /usr/sbin/lircd to /usr/local/sbin/lircd. I have tried both with and without "$ARGS..." after lircd, but still it fails to load. Running "/usr/sbin/update-rc.d lirc defaults" will only result in "System startup links for /etc/init.d/lirc already exist." So, any ideas why this could be failing? It feels like I'm so close to solving this, frustrating. Here is my "lirc" and "hardware.con"-files. Could anyone send me there working copies? Code: #! /bin/sh # # load_modules () { local MODULES_MISSING=false for mod in $* do modprobe -k $mod 2> /dev/null || MODULES_MISSING=true done if $MODULES_MISSING; then echo "#####################################################" echo "## I couldn't load the required kernel modules ##" echo "## You should install lirc-modules-source to build ##" echo "## kernel support for your hardware. ##" echo "#####################################################" echo "## If this message is not appropriate you may set ##" echo "## LOAD_MODULES=false in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf ##" echo "#####################################################" START_LIRCMD=false START_LIRCD=false fi } build_args () { local ARGS="$*" if [ -n "$DEVICE" ] && [ "$DEVICE" != "none" ]; then if [ -d /dev/lirc ] && [ "$DEVICE" = "/dev/lirc" ];then #new device names DEVICE="/dev/lirc/0" fi ARGS="--device=$DEVICE $ARGS" fi if [ -n "$DRIVER" ] && [ "$DRIVER" != "none" ]; then ARGS="--driver=$DRIVER $ARGS" fi echo $ARGS } test -f /usr/local/sbin/lircd || exit 0 test -f /usr/local/sbin/lircmd || exit 0 #test -f /etc/lirc/lircd.conf || exit 0 #test -f /etc/lirc/lircmd.conf || exit 0 START_LIRCMD=true START_LIRCD=true if [ ! -f /etc/lirc/lircd.conf ] \ || grep -q "^#UNCONFIGURED" /etc/lirc/lircd.conf;then if [ "$1" = "start" ]; then echo "##################################################" echo "## LIRC IS NOT CONFIGURED ##" echo "## ##" echo "## read /usr/share/doc/lirc/html/configure.html ##" echo "##################################################" fi START_LIRCD=false START_LIRCMD=false fi if [ ! -f /etc/lirc/lircmd.conf ] \ || grep -q "^#UNCONFIGURED" /etc/lirc/lircmd.conf;then START_LIRCMD=false fi if [ -f /etc/lirc/hardware.conf ];then . /etc/lirc/hardware.conf fi case "$1" in start) if [ "$LOAD_MODULES" = "true" ] && [ "$START_LIRCD" = "true" ]; then load_modules $MODULES fi echo -n "Starting lirc daemon:" if $START_LIRCD; then echo -n " lircd" LIRCD_ARGS=`build_args $LIRCD_ARGS` start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/local/sbin/lircd \ < /dev/null fi if $START_LIRCMD; then echo -n " lircmd" start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec /usr/local/sbin/lircmd \ < /dev/null fi echo "." ;; stop) echo -n "Stopping lirc daemon:" echo -n " lircmd" start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --exec /usr/local/sbin/lircmd echo -n " lircd" start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --exec /usr/local/sbin/lircd echo "." ;; reload|force-reload) if $START_LIRCD; then start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --signal 1 --exec /usr/local/sbin/lircd fi if $START_LIRCMD; then start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --signal 1 --exec /usr/local/sbin/lircmd fi ;; restart) $0 stop $0 start ;; *) echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/lircd {start|stop|reload|restart|force-reload}" exit 1 esac exit 0 Code: # /etc/lirc/hardware.conf

For my r5c7 install I had to add these lines to the bottom of /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh Code: setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none modprobe lirc_serial /usr/local/sbin/lircd For my r5d1 install: Code: setserial /dev/ttyS0 uart none
modprobe lirc_serial /usr/sbin/lircd From you message it looks like you should use the first one. |

Thanks! But i'm using a Microsoft USB connected remote, NOT at remote connected to the serialport as i suppose you do. I'm still having trouble with this and have not had time to investegate it further. For the moment, after knoppmyth is up and running, i have to enter the console(CTRL-ALT-F2), run "lircd", get back to GUI(CTRL-ALT-F7), restart GUI(CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE), and then the remote is working OK(until i reboot). Have tested varius "/etc/init.d/lirc", including the bundled debian-version with Lirc. I guess lircd.conf and lircrc is correct since the remote is working when i manually starts lircd... Has setup "alias char-major-61 lirc-mceusb2" in the alias-file in /etc/modutils.d I have removed suport for USB 2.0, in-case that would affect loading of the mceusb2 driver. The question is when does the mceusb2 driver get loaded? Is it loaded manually by knoppmyth in a config-file or does it get loaded in "/etc/lirc/harware.conf" when lircd request it. In the later case, should i supply somekind of sleep(2) to let the driver settle down before lircd is loaded? I'm running lircd 8.0(have also tried 8.1-pre1) and a custom made linux(2.6.17)-kernel. |

Thanks for the sugested "bootmisc.sh"-script. I'm quite new to knoppix and having a hardtime finding the usual scripts used.(It's so much simpler in Slackware. =) I added: setterm -blength 0 modprobe lirc_mceusb2 lircd And now it's working, not the best place to put it, but since the correct scripts is giving me trouble i'm happy that it's just working. |
