Hi there!

What's an honest guy to do to reinstall lirc in a working condition?

Long story short:

Because my MCEUSB2 remote didnt want to work, I removed everything lirc-related with:

dpkg -P lirc, lirc-x, lirc-svga, lirc-modules
rm -rf /etc/lirc/
rm /etc/lircd.conf
rm /etc/lircmd.conf
rm /home/mythtv/.lircdrc

Since there's no .deb on the install CD (at least, couldnt find em..), my guess was to apt-get install the whole thing.

apt-get install lirc lirc-x lirc-svga lirc-modules-source

cd /root
wget ftp://knoppmyth.net/R5/linux-source-2.6 ... om_all.deb
dpkg -i linux-source-2.6.18-chw-13_2.6.18-chw-13-10.00.Custom_all.deb
rm linux-source-2.6.18-chw-13_2.6.18-chw-13-10.00.Custom_all.deb
cd /usr/src
rm -rf linux
ln -s linux linux-source-2.6.18-chw-13_2.6.18-chw-13

cd /usr/src/lirc-0.8.0
./configure
make

and then... BAM!

Quote:

Something tells me I don't even have the correct source... am I doing the whole thing upside-down?

Is there an easier way to reinstall lirc?

Oh well...

http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermai ... 00261.html

I guess my modules-source are incorrect for that kernel.

Where do I find the correct one?

The story continued...

Tried module-assistant with partial success. Now the modules compile and install, but I can't seem to find em anywhere, and lirc still complains that there is no module.

/etc/init.d/lirc restart

You may want to try making a good backup and auto upgrading to the same (or the latest) version. That's the canonical "I roached my install but don't want to lose my media or settings" fix.
