I built my box for watching movies that I store on my computers. I do not have the PVR because currently I do not have a need for it. I decided that it would be really handy to have a remote so I could just not have to use the keyboard unless I was making configuration changes. Anyway, I can not seem to get this remote to work at all. I know that it works but I can't get it to do anything. I have tried like four different installation methods that I have found and nothing. I even completely redid my whole box from scratch and nothing. I can't even get it to do anything with irw. I don't know if I have the wrong driver or if I am just a f*ing idiot and am completely screwing it up. This is the remote that I have.

Hi,
I have not made that one work either, nor have I tried very hard. Has that ugly button in the middle. The doggie bone shaped one with the 4 color buttons across the bottom works fine with the SMK usb receiver using the 150 with doggie bone selection with or without a tuner card.

I am new to linux and am a sucker for trying to solve a problem. Even if I never use it I am now determined to make it work at least one time before I throw it out the window.

Firstly can your PC "see" the receiver by doing lsusb at the command prompt.
Secondly, what is your /etc/lirc/hardware.conf that you are using?
Is lirc actually running? ( ps aux |grep lirc )
Has there been any lirc devices created ( ls -l /dev/lir* )
Is the /etc/lirc/lircd.conf correctly setup for your remote.
It would be worthwhile pasting the results from the above.

Hi. I am having the same problem with r5f1.
improtant to note that my pvr_150 blasters are working but the remote is not.
Please help!
When i run irw after executing lircd it kills lircd like so:
Code: root@mythtv:/# lircd
root@mythtv:/# irw
root@mythtv:/# irw
connect: Connection refused
root@mythtv:/# lircd
root@mythtv:/# lircd
lircd: there seems to already be a lircd process with pid 4356
lircd: otherwise delete stale lockfile /var/run/lircd.pid here is lsusb: Code: root@mythtv:/# lsusb
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

here is my /etc/lirc/hardware.conf: Code: # /etc/lirc/hardware.conf

# automatically used instead

Currently I am having this problem :
configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
See 'config.log' for more details

rocky007 if irw is killing lircd it means all of your modules are not working correctly. I just found this out. I am going to completely uninstall lirc and do a clean install and see if that works. I will let you know if it works.

Have you seen this thread (which I reached from here)?

Thanks I found two things that I had missed. The first one was with the configure: error: C preprocessor "/lib/cpp" fails sanity check
See 'config.log' for more details. To fix this all I had to was "apt-get upgrade" after that finished I did not have that problem anymore.
The second one I edited the /etc/lirc/hardware.conf file from
Code:
DEVICE="/dev/usb/hiddev0"
MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_mceusb2"
to: Code:
DEVICE="/dev/lirc0"
MODULES="lirc_dev lirc_mceusb2"
The trick that kept screwing me up though was no symlink between these two files. After I did this everything worked fine. "ln -s /dev/lirc0 /dev/lirc"
The only problem is when you reboot you lose that symlink. With a little searching I found this to fix that problem.
A nasty hack, but I just want it to work, added the following to /etc/init.d/lirc
case "$1" in
start)
if [ "$LOAD_MODULES" = "true" ] && [ "$START_LIRCD" = "true" ]; then
load_modules $MODULES
fi
if [ ! -e /dev/lirc ]; then
echo "Creating link /dev/lirc0 -> /dev/lirc"
ln -s /dev/lirc0 /dev/lirc
fi
echo -n "Starting lirc daemon:"
That was thanks to mlbuser. Hope this helps someone anyway!

Is there anyway of fixing this error without using the apt-get upgrade?

That was the only way that I found that would make it work but I am sure there are way more experienced users that could figure it out. I am still a novice with Linux so I am still stumbling my way through all of this.
