It is greek to me but anytime I see error it can't be good :)

root@mythtv:/usr/local/bin# ps -ae | grep irblaster
4957 ? 00:00:00 irblasterd


Any ideas?

If there is nothing pluged into you second comm port try switching the blaster to it.

You don't need to restart anything.. just plug it in and try it.

what is the output from:
Code:
ps x|grep blaster


what are things set at in:
/etc/irblaster/hardware.conf
Author:  iscraigh [ Tue Apr 04, 2006 1:02 am ]
Post subject: 
mythtv@mythtv:~$ ps x | grep blaster
5087 ttyp1 S+ 0:00 grep blaster


Hardware.conf is com2

I have had the blaster working through many versions always on com 2. I don't have an external com 1 to even try.

Lirc is not working on the recieve end either.

sorry should have do a "ps uaxw|grep blaster"

the x alone would have worked if you were root..
Author:  Greg Frost [ Tue Apr 04, 2006 1:22 am ]
Post subject: 
Try "ps ax | grep blaster" . It should show you a running instance of irblasterd. If it doesn't, then for some reason, the it did not start, or it died. You need to find out why. Try running (as root) /etc/init.d/irblaster start and see if you get any error messages.

not what I looking for..
ps auxwww|grep blaster

should kick up something like this

Ok how do we help it determine the serial port?

do a :

/etc/iniit.d/lircd stop
/etc/iniit.d/irblaster stop

rmmod -r lirc_serial

/etc/init.d/lircd start
/etc/init.d/irblaster start

not having much luck with those commands
Author:  iscraigh [ Tue Apr 04, 2006 1:54 am ]
Post subject: 
ok

tried your commands again slightly modified and blaster works

Now the real question is why? I will reboot now and see where we sit

add the serial port to your hardware.conf by hand.

==============
# /etc/irblaster/hardware.conf
#
# Author: Greg Frost

# The COM Port used by the IRBlaster. Set it to "COM1" "COM2" or "".

IRBLASTER_SERIAL_PORT="COM1"

# Set this to the lirc device that will be used by lirc_serial. In my case
# it is /dev/lirc. I have a USB remote, so my remote does not use the
# /dev/lirc device, so it is used by lirc_serial for my ir blaster. If you
# have a remote that uses /dev/lirc, the blaster may user /dev/lirc1. Not
# sure.

IRBLASTER_DEVICE="/dev/lirc1"
Author:  iscraigh [ Tue Apr 04, 2006 2:00 am ]
Post subject: 
it is in their. Before I rebooted I tested the receiver; no joy.

After reboot...........

receiver no

blaster no

root@mythtv:~# irsend --device=/dev/irblasterd SEND_ONCE DCT2000 3
root@mythtv:~# irsend --device=/dev/irblasterd SEND_ONCE DCT2000 3
irsend: could not connect to socket
irsend: Connection refused
root@mythtv:~#

A big circle.

Try running this from the command line (yours may be /dev/irblasterd instead of /dev/irblaster)

Code:
 /usr/sbin/irblasterd --driver=default --device=/dev/lirc1 --pidfile=/var/run/irblasterd.pid --output=/dev/irblaster /etc/irblaster/irblasterd.conf


killall off the running irblasterd first though..
