[Bug 718667] Re: Mythbuntu Control Centre sets DVICO USB remote to wrong /dev

 

We really do appreciate you opening this ticket to help improve
Mythbuntu, but it needs to be closed for a number of reasons. The
biggest one is that upstream believes this to be fixed in the latest
version. Could you please verify if this issue still exists in the
latest version?

Please do not let the closing of this ticket dissuade you from opening a
new ticket if this (or any other) problem occurs with the newer
versions.

Title:
  Mythbuntu Control Centre sets DVICO USB remote to wrong /dev

Status in Mythbuntu, Ubuntu derivative focused upon MythTV:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Mythbuntu 9.04 - 10.10 (all versions including 0.24-fixes)

  When using Mythbuntu Control Centre to configure a DVICO USB Remote,
  the lirc configurator incorrectly sets the device to /dev/lircX,
  whereupon the remote fails to register in irw or mythtv, or any other
  application

  The correct entry should read 
   REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/usb/hiddevX", e.g.  REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/usb/hiddev0"

  The full conf file follows:

  # /etc/lirc/hardware.conf
   #
   #Chosen Remote Control
   REMOTE="DViCO USB Remote"
   REMOTE_MODULES=""
   REMOTE_DRIVER="dvico"
   REMOTE_DEVICE="/dev/usb/hiddev0"
   REMOTE_SOCKET=""
   REMOTE_LIRCD_CONF="dvico/lircd.conf.fusionHDTV"
   REMOTE_LIRCD_ARGS=""

   #Chosen IR Transmitter
   TRANSMITTER="None"
   TRANSMITTER_MODULES=""
   TRANSMITTER_DRIVER=""
   TRANSMITTER_DEVICE=""
   TRANSMITTER_SOCKET=""
   TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_CONF=""
   TRANSMITTER_LIRCD_ARGS=""

   #Enable lircd
   START_LIRCD="true"

   #Don't start lircmd even if there seems to be a good config file
   #START_LIRCMD="false"

   #Try to load appropriate kernel modules
   LOAD_MODULES="true"

   # Default configuration files for your hardware if any
   LIRCMD_CONF=""

   #Forcing noninteractive reconfiguration
   #If lirc is to be reconfigured by an external application
   #that doesn't have a debconf frontend available, the noninteractive
   #frontend can be invoked and set to parse REMOTE and TRANSMITTER
   #It will then populate all other variables without any user input
   #If you would like to configure lirc via standard methods, be sure
   #to leave this set to "false"
   FORCE_NONINTERACTIVE_RECONFIGURATION="false"
   START_LIRCMD=""

   # Receiver settings required by gnome-lirc-properties
   RECEIVER_MODEL="USB\ Remote"
   RECEIVER_VENDOR="DViCO"
