[YorTheGreat <824369@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been trying to find out why my mythbox hangs on every shutdown.
Checked a lot of components (even switching to GDM from KDM) to no
avail.

Today I've found that it was the lirc process that hung. Disabling the
in_kernel_support in the stop part of the stop/start script fixed the
issue (like described here).

However: unlike the OP I am on 11.10 with all the latest patches
installed.

Bug has been very annoying and almost made me switch to another distro.
It would be nice if someone could fix it.

Title:
  ubuntu 11.04 - lirc init script sets invalid ir protocol for imon
  driver (imon Looks like you're trying to use an IR protocol this
  device does not support)

Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I have the following VFD + IR device...
  Bus 002 Device 002: ID 15c2:ffdc SoundGraph Inc. iMON PAD Remote Controller

  With the following installed versions...
  kernel: 2.6.38-10-generic
  lircd: 0.8.7
  ...and configured using the devinput driver (config generated via "dpkg-reconfigure lirc") I get this error in syslog and lirc fails to work:

  kernel: [   20.254591] imon 2-7:1.0: Looks like you're trying to use an IR protocol this device does not support
  kernel: [   20.254597] imon 2-7:1.0: Unsupported IR protocol specified, overriding to iMON IR protocol

  Running lircd manually works...
  sudo /usr/sbin/lircd -n --output=/var/run/lirc/lircd --driver=devinput --device=/dev/input/by-path/pci-0000:00:0b.0-usb-0:7:1.0-event

  So to get lirc working when launched via the init script I have to
  comment out the in_kernel_support() function so that it doesn't try
  setting the incorrect protocol.
