I'm running Arch Linux i686 which uses lirc v0.8.6 with a streamzap usb remote. I can't get the remote to function 100 % of the time.

1) I installed both the lirc and lirc-utils packages
2) I copied over the lircd.conf for my remote from /usr/share/lirc/remotes/streamzap/lircd.conf.streamzap
3) I modprobed both modules listed on this page
4) I started lircd.

I'm using the standard streamzap usb remote/receiver. When I test it with irw, it works for a little while, but then lircd seems to ignore the remote commands completely. I hit buttons, but nothing gets registered by irw.

Code:

# cp /usr/share/lirc/remotes/streamzap/lircd.conf.streamzap /etc/lirc/lircd.conf

# modprobe lirc_dev
# modprobe lirc_streamzap

# /etc/rc.d/lircd start
:: Starting LIRC Daemon

$ irw
00000000000028cc 00 CH_UP Streamzap_PC_Remote

00000000000028d4 00 DOWN Streamzap_PC_Remote
00000000000028d4 00 DOWN Streamzap_PC_Remote

<<<At this poiint, lircd just ignores the buttons>>>

All I get in my /var/log/lircd is:

Code:

Nov 27 05:25:37 lightning lircd: caught signal
Nov 27 05:25:40 lightning lircd: lircd(default) ready, using /var/run/lirc/lircd
Nov 27 05:25:43 lightning lircd: accepted new client on /var/run/lirc/lircd
Nov 27 05:26:04 lightning lircd: removed client

Suggestions are appreciated.

/etc/lirc/lircd.conf

I thought lirc looked in ~/.lircrc for its frontend config file. Maybe your system is different?

Found the problem: low batteries in the remote! Unbelievable!
