[Bug 582617] Re: Homebrew serial IR reciver not properly supported in MCC - breaks when changing other settings in MCC
** Description changed:
- Within MCC there is no option to configure a "Homebrew Serial IR"
- receiver. To get around this I go to the terminal and configure via:
+ Within MCC, under the IR menu, there is no option to configure a
+ "Homebrew Serial IR" receiver. To get around this I go to the terminal
+ and configure via:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure lirc
This gives me an option to choose "Homebrew 16x50 UART compatible" this
is NOT available in the X windows GUI in MCC under the Infrared Remotes
section.
By configuring via the terminal I can generate a working hardware.conf
file and my serial receiver works as expected.
Now for the bug: When I subsequently go back into MCC and configure
something else non IR related, say, VNC and then click apply. The
changes displayed include a LIRC item. When I click apply MCC wipes out
my manually configured LIRC config, ie. hardware.conf is erased and my
serial IR rx no longer works.
This means I can make no changes to anything in MCC without destroying
my hardware.conf file.
