Just run my beta auto-installer and reboot !:)
No need to bug you that much it does the job for you
(one need build essential pack.)

concerning the .lircrcd
has someone one working with FREEVO ?

thanks !

Hi again Frenchn00b.

Tried your installer a couple of times and the installer works fine.
However my receiver dongle keeps locking up at boot and I must manually unplug it and try to get it working again. Still playing with it.

Please help with a easy question. How do I get the UDP driver installed again for lircd?? I cant seem to find where I select it as an option.
I removed all lirc stuff on my system so I could do a fresh install, but have forgotten how I did it before.
EDIT:: Dont worry. I realised I must go into the lirc ./config and not the lirc module configuration.

Thanks

I have a dirty trik for work rc 2400.

- install lirc ubuntu pakage with apt manager
- download a lirc from www . lirc . org (I don't have install all this tarbal)
- edit /lirc/drivers/lirc_mceusb2/lirc_mceusb2.c at line 287

285 if (urb_type) {
286 async_urb = usb_alloc_urb(0, GFP_KERNEL);
287 if (async_urb) {
288 /* alloc buffer */
289 async_buf = kmalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL);
290 if (async_buf) {

place a "!" at test if (async_urb) {

285 if (urb_type) {
286 async_urb = usb_alloc_urb(0, GFP_KERNEL);
287 if (!async_urb) {
288 /* alloc buffer */
289 async_buf = kmalloc(size, GFP_KERNEL);
290 if (async_buf) {

- save file
- make clean
- make
- copy lirc_mceusb2.ko in module directory. (I use "locate lirc_mceusb2" to discover correct directory)
- modprobe -r lirc_mceusb2
- modprobe lirc_mceusb2
- unplug dondle
- plug dongle

test you remote with irw


alerosso

maybe this :
then as user, type : irw

it should work
python-lirc is a package to have too, for other apps.

Kubuntu and RC-2400 problem
 

Hi,

I'm trying for a few days to make my Remote control Functional with Klirc and MythTV on kubuntu. I Have try all the above but nothing....

I'm very new with Linux(using for few months) and I'm wander if there is any easy way to resolve the problem (lets say with a .deb installation driver).

can anyone HELP pls..... :)

Thanks In Advance

Bill

would you really need klirc ? I have no idea if it works with it, but maybe yes, It could.

you have first to load the driver. That may help you

Hence it would be compiling the rc2400 program first, then, lirc and boot fast.

Thanks!!!!!
 

Is working Now!!!!!!!

Thanks....... I'm very Happy :) :)

which proposed method did you use ? how could you make it ?

Glad it worked !

The Method that I did Use was the following:

"Sudo sh autoinstaller-rc2400.sh"

after "make"

Remove the "modules" from /usr/src/

run the "lirc-modules-2.6.22-14-generic_0.8.2-0ubuntu8+2.6.22-14.52_i386.deb" in the same directory

reboot the system ... and it works (Also with IrKlick)


Thanks for the Help......

Hey frenchnoob, could you please tell me what the difference is between the versions "beta" "unstable" and the ones posted in the main folder?

in unstable, you have to make it all yourself the installation.
in beta, this is the installer, that does the job for you ! ;) Nothing to think about link

Slight problem - irw doesn't register anything
 

Hi all,

I also have the rc-2400, and am trying to get it working using frenchnoob's autoinstaller. I'm running Kubuntu 8.04.

Steps taken so far:
> sudo apt-get install lirc
downloaded the autoinstaller, untarred and ran the .sh script.
The message suggested that the installer completed successfully, but looking back through the progress, it shows:

> gcc rc2400.o -lusb -o rc2400 [: 49: ==: unexpected operator

Now, when I boot up the light on the receiver does not come on. Pressing buttons on the remote causes the receiver to light up briefly, and all looks good.

However, running "irw" does not work as expected. The program runs, and expects input but pressing the buttons on the remote does not produce any results. I have to press ctrl+c to quit irw.

Here are the outputs of various files that will hopefully help:


On unplugging/replugging in the receiver, dmesg|tail gives me:

and finally:


Sorry for the long post. I've been trying to get this working for hours now, and I'm very hopeful that someone else will point out what silly error I've made (and how to fix it!).

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer,

Lee

It's a long time that I didnt touch the linux box, where I got it installed. I will try in one month max... somehow ..:)

Thanks, I appreciate your help :)

Hi everyone.

I was able to get the Trust RC2400 working on mythbuntu 8.10 following the beta autoinstaller. Just one thing: make sure to install usblib-dev package before runing the script.

Thanks to everybody who work on the solution.

PD: please excuse my poor english. Best regards from Spain.

bye.
