[Bug 563139] [NEW] [lucid] gdm and mythfrontend sometimes starts before lirc

 

Public bug reported:

This bugreport is (possibly) related to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/505705/comments/5, but since
that bug report concerns irexec I suggest to have a separate bug report
for this issue.

On my Mythbuntu lucid frontend it seems like gdm and mythfrontend is
sometimes started before lircd (possibly because gdm uses upstart and
lirc doesn't?).

After adding a test to see if lirc is started in mythfrontend.sh (as per
https://bugs.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/+bug/505705/comments/5,), my logs
confirms that lirc sometimes is not started when mythfrontend starts.

Because of this my remote doesn't work with mythfrontend unless I stop
mythfrontend,  restarts lirc and start mythfrontend again.

This is on a Mythbuntu 9.10 machine upgraded from karmic, which boots
off a CF card.
