I'm trying to following the HowTo to set up LIRC for the PVR-150 Remote.

http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php? ... stallation

I'm stuck at step 4:
4.) patch -p1 -i lirc-0.7.0_pvr150.patch

I input the following:
root@mythtv:/etc/lirc# patch -p1 -i lirc-0.7.0_pvr150.patch

And get the following output:
can't find file to patch at input line 4
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff -cr lirc-0.7.0/drivers/lirc_i2c/lirc_i2c.c lirc-0.7.0-pvr150/drivers/lirc_i2c/lirc_i2c.c
|*** lirc-0.7.0/drivers/lirc_i2c/lirc_i2c.c Sun Sep 5 18:48:48 2004
|--- lirc-0.7.0-pvr150/drivers/lirc_i2c/lirc_i2c.c Fri Jan 14 09:47:15 2005
--------------------------
File to patch:



When I type in file "irc-0.7.0_pvr150.patch" at the "file to patch" box, I get the following output:

Based on the command prompt shown, you're in the wrong directory. You need to go to /usr/src or with the "-p1" option /usr/src/lirc-0.7.2pvr150. This is because all the paths in the diff are relative to the current directory even before you strip the leading element off with the "-p1".

I tried to get my remote to work by running lirc-reconfig.sh, but I get the following output.

System startup links for /etc/init.d/lirc already exist.
Stopping lirc daemon: lircmd lircd.

I've tried the steps in the Wiki HowTo at:
http://www.knoppmythwiki.org/index.php? ... stallation

But when I get to following commands, nothing works right:

rmmod eeprom
sleep 1
modprobe tveeprom
sleep 1
modprobe videodev
sleep 1
modprobe cx25840 i2c_enable=1
modprobe tuner
sleep 1
modprobe wm8775
sleep 1
modprobe ivtv


Here is the output, as I go through the commands:

root@mythtv:~# rmmod eeprom
ERROR: Module eeprom does not exist in /proc/modules
root@mythtv:~# modprobe tveeprom
WARNING: /etc/modprobe.d/ivtv line 5: ignoring bad line starting with 'add'
root@mythtv:~# modprobe videodev
WARNING: /etc/modprobe.d/ivtv line 5: ignoring bad line starting with 'add'
root@mythtv:~#

What version of KnoppMyth are you using? The HowTo was written against an older version, has accumulated a byzantine set of annotations, and is overdue for a major haircut. You don't need to do most of that stuff with a fresh R5A26 install. You should just be able to run the lirc-reconfig.sh script and get input working. At worst you may need to drop in one of the /etc/lirc/lircd.conf files that folks have posted to get the right IR code set. (Search for "lircd.conf" in the forums.)

I think you still need to do some extra stuff to get the blaster working if you care about that, for which this thread may help: http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=7107
