First look in your syslog for your serial ports to confirm they are active. Piece of my log:

Code:

Feb  5 18:26:34 mythtv1 kernel: Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 4 ports, IRQ sharing disabled
Feb  5 18:26:34 mythtv1 kernel: serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A
Feb  5 18:26:34 mythtv1 kernel: serial8250: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A

Then look towards the end of the syslog to see if your serial device is found. Again a piece of mine:

Code:

Feb  5 18:26:34 mythtv1 kernel: lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61 
Feb  5 18:26:34 mythtv1 kernel: caller is init_port+0xb0/0x2a0 [lirc_serial]
Feb  5 18:26:34 mythtv1 kernel:  <e0ef246c> init_module+0x2c/0xb0 [lirc_serial]  <c013def4> sys_init_module+0x114/0x1e0
Feb  5 18:26:34 mythtv1 kernel:  <c0103177> syscall_call+0x7/0xb 
Feb  5 18:26:34 mythtv1 kernel: lirc_serial: auto-detected active low receiver
Feb  5 18:26:34 mythtv1 kernel: lirc_dev: lirc_register_plugin: sample_rate: 0

If these are there then you should be able to detect your remote using irrecord. What do you see in the logs?

i need it to use settings that will work for my packard bell serial receiver (usually i recompile with these settings):

Quote:

./setup.sh
save and exit
nano configure.sh

add the first two options to the customized configure.sh

Quote:

#!/bin/bash

./configure \
--with-kerneldir=/usr/src/linux \
--prefix=/usr \
--with-moduledir=/lib/modules/2.6.18-chw-13/misc \
--with-x \
--with-driver=packard_bell \
--with-major=61 \
--with-port=0x3f8 \
--with-irq=4 \
"$@"

Quote:

sh configure.sh
make
make install

thanks for the suggestion, but that didn't work.
I did this on my other machine with a fresh install.

Randomhtpcguy,
(re-compiling lirc notwithstanding) did you get your packard_bell remote working? I can confirm what others have said. E.g. lirc-reconfig.sh and select the rcs-6n1, then put the lircd.conf and lircrc in place. restart lircd. That's it (I double checked, starting from a fresh install R5E50).

lirc-reconfig.sh

I finally did a new autoupgrade of R5E50.

Damn... same thing.

I first tried using the reconfig script with option 34 (6in1) serial with my packard bell lircd.conf and lircrc.

Then i apt-get source lirc-0.8.0
setup.sh with packard bell on com1
configure.sh with -prefix=/usr and kerneldir=/usr/src/linux...

then...

make fails on lirc (downloaded from debian)

maybe i need a generic lirc source rather than the debianized sid version

or maybe it has something to do with udev versus devfs.

i don't really understand the error message.

The LIRC source used to compile LIRC that is included w/ KnoppMyth can be found here.

thanks cesman. I was attempting to use the sid version which they haven't altered to compile with 2.6.18 for some reason.

I did get the latest snapshot to compile against the kernel source in this forum http://lirc.sourceforge.net/software/snapshots/

and it even included the patch for my other remote the usb-uirt.

I will try you're pvr-150 source and if it works I will send along my config files to see if they might be included in knoppmyth.

A newbie need some help. I think I destroyed something after trying to install Lirc.

What did I do (see http://venky.ws/projects/imon/#lirc):
- Download the kernel sources as explained in this subject at the thirst page
- Download the latest Lirc
- Configured lirc and run make and make install (with the imon pad driver)
- Run modprobe lirc_dev and modprobe lirc_imon
- Reboot the system

And now X windows is not starting anymore!! It is waiting on the knoppmyth splash screen (welcome to knoppmyth) and flickers a few times with a black screen.

Do I have to reinstall the system? I really hope I don't, because this was the last open item and else I have to do it all again...
Anyone some tips/help?

Well, Xwindows is starting again. Somehow the nvidia driver was broken.

But my remote control is not working yet. I use the remote control of imon VDF/IR (pad).

What do I have to check? I followed the tips mentioned in this subject, but it is not working yet.

Who has some tips for me?

i have a tira usb reciever. It does not require a kernel module. I installed the kernel source following cecil's instructions. i then configured lirc, make, and make installed lirc. that did not work, so I tried these kernel source instructions

Code:

cd /usr/src
wget ftp://knoppmyth.net/R5/linux-source-2.6.18-chw-13_2.6.18-chw-13-10.00.Custom_all.deb
dpkg -i linux-source-2.6.18-chw-13_2.6.18-chw-13-10.00.Custom_all.deb
rm -f linux-source-2.6.18-chw-13_2.6.18-chw-13-10.00.Custom_all.deb
tar xjvf linux-source-2.6.18-chw-13.tar.bz2
rm -f linux
ln -s linux-source-2.6.18-chw-13 linux
ln -s linux-source-2.6.18-chw-13 kernel-source-2.6.18-chw-13 # Thanks jbm2131! 

Which did not work either. The first time with cecil's instructions i was able to get everything to make and make install now i get the following error:

Code:

In file included from /usr/include/sys/socket.h:35,
                 from irrecord.c:38:

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make: *** [all] Error 2

when i try to run make after running the following

Code:

./configure --with-kerneldir=/usr/src/linux --with-driver=tira

did i mess something up with the kernel sources, or is it something wrong with the lirc configure? because the tira does not require a kernel module i figured i would be able to recompile lirc and it would work, i guess i was wrong.
