Post subject: | broken lircrc link |
I was changing the /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc file, and deleted the original by replacing it with a copy. Now the romote stopped working. I think broke a link to the original file thats being used somewhere else. I dont know if thats the right term, but for instance the file /etc/lircd.conf is actually a link to /etc/lirc/lircd.conf, and you have to edit the 2nd one. linux seems to be weird about those things - it references the same file no matter if its renamed or deleted, etc. how to repair the link so it uses the new file? I already did a CHOWN and CHGRP... |

This is post installation and thus off topic under "installation" so Cecil will probably nuke it soon. The files in question are: Code: root@black2:~# ls -al /home/mythtv/.lirc* /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc
-rw------- 1 mythtv mythtv 963 Sep 28 03:30 /home/mythtv/.lircnav lrwxrwxrwx 1 mythtv mythtv 14 Oct 22 15:17 /home/mythtv/.lircrc -> .mythtv/lircrc -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 5779 Sep 10 12:29 /home/mythtv/.mythtv/lircrc The second one with the arrow is a symbolic link. If that's not what you see, then you did indeed break it. Do a "man ln". |
