it's the same, here's a paste from /etc/lirc/lirc.conf:
Quote: 0 0x0000000000001780
star 0x0000000000001F8A
hash 0x000000000000178E
red 0x0000000000001F8B
green 0x00000000000017AE
yellow 0x0000000000001FB8
blue 0x00000000000017A9
and now when I try to run an irw, I get: Quote: connect: No such file or directory

Also interesting: I removed all of the text from my /home/mythtv/.lircrc (it's now a blank file) and still the number pad works. Is there another file that holds the configuration?

Still works after restarting lirc? The /home/mythtv/.lircrc file is a symlink to /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc on my R5D1 boxen, is that the case on your system?
When configuring lirc, I have only played with the following files:
/etc/lirc/lircd.conf
/etc/lirc/hardware.conf
/home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc
Judging by your posts I am guessing you have the Hauppauge silver remote (has a tag in the battery compartment with A415-HPG in it)? I have placed my lirc files here if you would like to try them out/take a look at them www.tbf-investments.com/Hauppauge_silver.tar
If this is not the remote you have, then we need to know exactly which remote it is you are playing with...

I copied the files from your tar into my files and the same thing is happening. I restart lirc with "/etc/init.d/lirc restart." You're also correct on my silver remote. This is a fresh R5F1 install.
/var/log/messages
Quote: May 26 21:08:16 mythtv kernel: i2c IR (Hauppauge): unknown key: key=0x25 raw=0x$
May 26 21:08:18 mythtv kernel: i2c IR (Hauppauge): unknown key: key=0x3b raw=0x$
May 26 21:08:18 mythtv kernel: i2c IR (Hauppauge): unknown key: key=0x3b raw=0x$
Is there any other log file that might help to shed some light on the situation? The odd thing was that my lircrc conf file was empty yet the num pad was still working for mythtv.

The only thing that comes to mind is that the lirc in R5F1 somehow doesn't use the same button definitions/codes. Try Code: irrecord /tmp/test.conf and compare the values in /tmp/test.conf with your /etc/lirc/lircd.conf. If they differ, then we're getting somewhere. If not, I'm not sure where to go from here.
Did you look through tjc's tips post http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=15195 , particularly section 2.3?

To the best of my information the locations of the lirc configuration files in R5F1 is the same as it was in R5E50 and earlier...

This is a fresh install, so I don't think tjc's tips apply to me. Am I wrong?
I tried and I got an error:
Quote: root@mythtv:~# irrecord /tmp/test.conf irrecord - application for recording IR-codes for usage with lirc Copyright (C) 1998,1999 Christoph Bartelmus( lirc@bartelmus.de) irrecord: could not init hardware (lircd running ? --> close it, check permissions) I check to see if lircd is running: Quote: root@mythtv:~# ps -e | grep lirc
5478 ? 00:00:00 lirc_dev
When I try to kill lirc_dev, it won't stop.

:
These posts were originally an upgrade guide, and that is still the main focus, but most of the setup hints and the information under "Known Issues" and "Known Changes" still apply for a fresh install.
Over the last couple editions the hints have been getting more and more general. The new title was even intended to emphasize this.

Thanks for the heads up, I read over stuff too fast sometimes.
I've already run the lirc reconfig a few times and it hasn't changed anything. I've tried it, rebooted, no luck. Editing the conf files, reboot, no luck. As for 2.3.2 and 2.3.3, I can't really do that as I don't have a backup.

5478 ? 00:00:00 lirc_dev When I try to kill lirc_dev, it won't stop. Maybe I'm being daft here, but you should be killing off lircd. No idea where lirc_dev is coming from, maybe due to udev? Code: ps -ef | grep lirc on my systems show something like Quote: root 2675 1 0 May19 ? 00:00:06 /usr/sbin/lircd
It would appear that lircd is not even running on your system, and that you have a possible issue with your /dev/lircX devices. Take a look at bkamen's solution in http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=13532 , I'm guessing your hardware.conf file doesn't match up with your actual device.
What is the output if you start lircd manually?

Just to add another solution after trying every one listed in this post:
Be sure your cable didn't accidentally get unplugged. I re-seated mine and the remote started working again!

I should have said that I had already killed lircd.
When I run lircd manually:
Quote: root@mythtv:/home/dwasserman# ps -ef | grep lircd
root 5308 1 0 13:29 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/lircd --driver=default --device=/dev/lirc0
root 5310 5155 0 13:29 ttyp1 00:00:00 grep lircd
I just did a total re-install, default settings everywhere and I get the same problem. I did a lirc-reconfig.sh and still no luck. What is just puzzling to me is the fact that lircd can be killed and yet I can still use the number pad on the remote.
DoomedTX: Trust me that was step #1 but good thinking!

OK, what do you get from the following: Code: ls -la /home/mythtv/.lircrc
ls -l /home/mythtv/.mythtv
more /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
ls -l /dev/lir*
lsmod | grep lirc

The rest looks fine. What receiver are you using? If it's the one that comes with the PVR-x50, unplug and re-plug it in, making sure it's seated completely. I had some trouble getting the receiver that came with my PVR-150 to seat, giving me some intermittent trouble.
I am afraid I'm out of ideas at this point...
