[Launchpad Bug Tracker <474701@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This bug was fixed in the package lirc - 0.9.0-0ubuntu5

---------------
lirc (0.9.0-0ubuntu5) trusty; urgency=medium

  * debian/lirc.postinst, debian/lirc.templates, debian/po: drop a number of
    debconf templates that are no longer being prompted for at all due to
    the dropping of the lirc-modules-source package and the lirc.config some
    time ago.
  * debian/lirc.postinst: clean up the remaining debconf handling to not
    override settings in /etc/lirc/hardware.conf.
  * debian/lirc.postinst: drop code for removing /var/log/lircd, which has
    been gone for more than a decade.
  * fix blacklist handling, which creates files not used by modprobe, and
    doesn't put all the contents in a single file.
  * drop obsolete Ubuntu migration code that dates from jaunty and lucid.
  * fix a bug that causes transmitter device/driver settings to always be
    cleared on config change.
  * Adjust lircd handling for multiple devices so that events for all of
    them will appear on /dev/lircd as intended.  Thanks to Joel Ebel for
    the patch.  LP: #697999.
  * Use /run/lirc, the canonical name for /var/run/lirc.  LP: #474701.
  * Fix the init script to not report failures when stopping an
    already-stopped daemon.

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

Status in “lirc” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
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
  U: Uniq=

  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
