Post subject:  Hauppauge remote doesn't work on fresh R5F1 install

This was a Tier 1 install all the way, except that my grey Hauppauge remote doesn't work.

On my previous Knoppmyth installation, it guided me through a wizard that helped me install the remote. R5F1 install didn't ask me for it. The IR receiver is plugged into the PVR350, as is TV-out (which works great).

My wife doesn't want to use the keyboard, so can someone help point me in the right direction?

Many thanks!

Post subject:  nope, not yet...

I have tried these things from the above post:

1) Cold Reboot (10min, 50min) // I was really hoping this one would work!
2) commented out the modprobe for saa7134-dvb as such:

Code:
modprobe dvb-bt8xx
modprobe nvram
/usr/local/bin/tvterm.sh
#modprobe saa7134-dvb
modprobe cx88-dvb
echo "} Done"
########################################################################
# End


3) lirc-reconfig.sh none of the 3 Hauppauge options work
4)
Quote:
which says that DEVICE should equal "/dev/lirc0" and not "/dev/lirc/0". In /etc/init.d/lirc , line 34, it indeed refers to /dev/lirc/0, so I changed it to /dev/lirc0.

* Also, in line 83 of /etc/init.d/lirc, there is a line that ends "$LIRCD_ARGS\" That backslash didn't look right so I put a space there: "$LIRCD_ARGS \"


I have rebooted countless times between each config change (still a Windows user - bad habit, I know)

My remote has fresh batteries, it is the Grey/Silver Hauppauge with the colored buttons at the bottom.

It looks like everything else is working.....

thanks for your help on this!

The only things that I did that I didn't see you did are:

* confirm that you've got an /etc/lircd.conf as a symlink to /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
* edit your lircd.conf file... after selecting the gray remote from the lirc-reconfig script, there are three independent listings for Hauppauge remotes in this one file. I am pretty sure I deleted the first and third ones and left the second (the first one seemed generic, the third one seemed to be for the "dogbone" remote).

You might try renaming and moving that ir_kbd_i2c module: I did that in addition to commenting out the saa module just in case that wasn't sufficient.

Ok - so now I have:
1) re-created the symlink to /etc/lirc/lircd.conf
2) only one remote is listed in my /etc/lirc/lircd.conf file

i'll see if I can find the instruction to rename / move the ir_kbd_i2c module...

any other ideas?
what are some good remotes people like/ ( I have four and would like to use one... )

Thanks!

Post subject:  ok... so....

I did this:
Code:
lsmod | awk '$3 == 0 { print $1 }' | sort

and ir_kbd_i2c isn't in the list.

The list:
Code:
8250_pnp
ac
agpgart
autofs4
battery
button
container
cx8800
cx8802
cx88_vp3054_i2c
dvb_bt8xx
dvb_pll
ehci_hcd
eth1394
fan
fuse
i2c_nforce2
lirc_i2c
msp3400
nvram
ohci1394
ohci_hcd
parport_pc
pcmcia
saa7115
saa7127
sbp2
sbs
serio_raw
snd_intel8x0
snd_pcm_oss
thermal
tsdev
tuner
uhci_hcd
unionfs
usb_storage
usbhid
video
video_buf_dvb
yenta_socket


I have three tuner cards, the IR Receiver is attached to the last PVR-250 (pci slot 3).

I am tempted to go buy a SnapStream Firefly...

any other suggestions?

Post subject:  same problem

I bought a SnapStream Firefly, connected it and rebooted, re-configured lirc, rebooted, rebooted, rebooted, and still no love from the remote...

I am pretty frustrated at this point, but very willing to try anything!

Please, your helpful hints will be greatly appreciated!

Post subject: 

I bought a Firefly for a remote front end, and it was automatically recognized WHEN I ran lirc-reconfig.sh -- when you say you "reconfigured lirc" do you mean you ran lirc-reconfig.sh ? If you ran it, did it say it recognized the Snapstream remote?

Post subject: 

NO, it said that it SHOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE to detect it automatically, but didn't, and to email the contents of a log file to a @gmail.com address.

I would do that, but I didn't because I don't know how to get that all working from the command line.

(ok, ok, I'm a n00b...)

thanks for any help...

Post subject:  I'm guessing

After you run lirc-reconfig.sh have you tried doing irw.


I've been having a lot of issues with my remote, ir receiver attached to the pvr-250 using the silver hauppauge remote, and I check by running IRW.

at command line type

IRW

now when you press the remote do you see anything.

**I know this is probably the most basic thing but it is my first step usually

Post subject: 

I have not, let me try that...


nope, IRW seems to wait for input, then I tried the remote and nothing appears. I did Ctrl-Z to stop.

Does it matter that I did this over PuTTY?

thanks - what next?
