| Post subject: | so your PVR-250 remote stopped working with R5A16 |
This should help anyone that had a working PVR-250 or PVR-350 remote with an earlier KnoppMyth release, but R5A16 borked it. I have the A415-HPG remote, but it may/may not matter what you have. Why (if you don't care why, skip to how) ------------------------------ Ultimately it was because of the newer version of lirc, which was 0.7.1 in A16 but 0.7.0 in A10. Running irrecord with 0.7.1 shows the remote returning really large values, like 0x1756 for the Left arrow. With lirc 0.7.0 they are much longer...and different, like 0x0000000000001F96. I don't know why it does this now, but it's no good and it broke my conf file. If anyone has a working conf file with 0.7.1, I would like to know, because even after updating my lircd.conf ones to the funky short ones, irw still just sat there and stared at me. How ------------------------------ You should remove lirc 0.7.1 and install 0.7.0. The following is a simplified version of The Wiki remove lirc 0.7.1 apt-get uninstall lirc install 0.7.0 cd /usr/src tar xvf kernel-(TAB) wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/lirc ... .0.tar.bz2 tar xvfj lirc-0.7.0.tar.bz2 cd lirc-0.7.0 make make install Optionaly ------------------- update lircd.conf (the conf from the Fedora/MythTv guide) (If you don't have the A415-HPG, you don't want to do this) wget http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/lircd-g3.conf.txt mv lircd-g3.conf.txt /etc/lircd.conf Restart! |

Thanks for the guide, watermark. Can we move the thread to the Howto section? |

I'm a noob to linux- so bear with me. When I input "tar xvf kernel" it tells me that the kernel source file in that directory isn't a tarball... so it won't let me go on to the next steps that you outlined. What can I do?- forget it....I conquered my noobness.... Thanks... If anyone could recommend a good way to get comfortable with linux's commands I would appreciate it...  book, FAQ, etc...

Just keep using it... and document what you learn so you can refer back to it at a later point (I keep a word file for example). |

You mean there's no magic pill !?!?!?!?!? WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN ME!!!! Oh well, I guess I'll just keep using my brain. I will say that I got through those directions, and PRESTO! when I restart it doesn't work...  Do I have to run something or do something to get the remote working after the restart?

Oh, I'm sure there's got to be a decent ORA book for learning Linux... This is 4 years out of date, but still worth checking out. http://letters.oreilly.com/pub/a/oreilly/letters/2001/learnunix_1101.html Even without buying a book, a google search fro "Unix tutorial" should turn up some reasonable references... A search of these forums for the same terms should turn up a link to the one that I refer folks at work to... |
