Hello: I know this has been asked a million times. I am smart but a Super noob kinda with linux. I thought i was pretty good with linux until this Lirc crap. Heres my situation. Working with: Old Athlon 1700+ 1.1 ghz (New intel 2.13 celeron D 533FSB on the way) 768 MB Ram sdram(New 2-256 mb ddr pc3200 on the way) Asus Motherboard 266 FSB (new MSI-MicroAtx 533 FSB on the way) Hauppauge 401 w/ Grey Remote (But who the hell knows. It looks grey and silver. Its the one with the 4 colored buttons around the 4 corners of the OK button in the center) KnoppMyth R5A30.1 ATI Radeon 8500 Card (blech i know...NVidia geforce4-t64 is on the way) Everything installs fine. When i use the keyboard i can navigate, record shows, programming menu...the whole shebang. I fixed my sound issues which realistically I think KnoppMyth should do for you. (ie Master 100%, PCM 100%, Line 100% muted, capture and then "alsactl store" to make sure that these settings get saved upon reboot) Now on to the REMOTE (AAAAAAHHHHH!!!) Everything would be so perfect if i could get this working. Ok button works fine Up is assigned to 8 Down is assigned to 2 Left is assigned to 4 Right is assigned to 6 and thats it.... I have read alot about this and still can't seem to get things working. I even changed my /etc/lircd.conf and /etc/lirc/lircd.conf to a newer config file which i found online but it didn't seem to do anything. Which config file is the one that lircd uses and why are there 2 of them? When i check ps auwx there is no 'lircd'. When i type 'lircd' it gets running. Then i type 'irw' nothing happens...It looks like when i try to run 'irw' it closes the 'lircd' that i had running because when i type 'irw' again it says connect: connection refused. Then when i do 'ps auwx' again 'lircd' isnt there anymore. I have reinstalled KnoppMyth about a million times trying different things and dig this....1 of the times all the number buttons worked and the OK button worked but none of the other ones. I didnt even do anything different. I know its not a connection problem because the IR reciever plugs nicely into the TVcard. Do i need the new lirc 0.7.2. Can i use apt-get to get it? If so what is the command line? I know NOTHING about recompiling the kernel so please include even the most BASIC steps in your answers. Thank you ALL in advance, |

If you'd read the changelog, you'd see that R5A30.1 does include LIRC 0.7.2. |

Hey sorry man. This is my first knoppmyth install so it was all new to me. Hence I never really read the changelog unless i am upgrading from something. Regardless of what the changelog says..the version that got installed on my machine is 0.7.1pre2 |
