Title:
  Can't start lirc: "lircd: can't open or create
  /var/run/lirc/lircd.pid"

Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “lirc” package in Arch Linux:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: lirc

  I have a Lifeview Flyvideo 2000 tv card and I got it to work, but lirc
  refuses to work with the remote control.

  lspci:
  01:07.0 Multimedia controller: Philips Semiconductors SAA7130 Video Broadcast Decoder (rev 01)

  dmesg:
  [   19.201635] input: saa7134 IR (LifeView/Typhoon Fl as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:09.0/0000:01:07.0/input/input5

  cat /proc/bus/input/devices:
  I: Bus=0001 Vendor=5169 Product=0138 Version=0001
  N: Name="saa7134 IR (LifeView/Typhoon Fl"
  P: Phys=pci-0000:01:07.0/ir0
  S: Sysfs=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:09.0/0000:01:07.0/input/input5

  B: KEY=c0304 390000 0 0 0 0 0 0 c0000002 1e0000 0 0 10000ffc

  
  And the remote worked when I did this: irrecord -H dev/input -d /dev/input/eventX /tmp/my-remote

  Now when I try to start lirc, I get this: 
  $ sudo lircd -H dev/input -d /dev/input/event5
  lircd: can't open or create /var/run/lirc/lircd.pid
  lircd: No such file or directory
