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

<<<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.
