| James2 | hey guys, having a problem with one of my frontends... its remote has disappeared | 20:38 |
| James2 | i have tried removing the remote through mcc, which removed lirc | 20:38 |
| James2 | then added it again, which reinstalled lirc, and i choose auto button mappings | 20:39 |
| James2 | i then tried irw with lird running and stopped, which shows no remote activity | 20:39 |
| James2 | irw /dev/lirc0 throws an error connect: connection refused | 20:40 |
| James2 | any ideas what i should try next? | 20:40 |
| rhpot1991 | James2: what kind of remote | 20:40 |
| rhpot1991 | and have you upgraded the system lately? (from one version of ubuntu to another)? | 20:41 |
| James2 | mce usb remote | 20:41 |
| James2 | and yes was updated earlier using apt-get, but apparantly it wasnt working before that | 20:41 |
| James2 | but was just an update of 12.04 0.26 | 20:41 |
| James2 | a load of stuff was held back | 20:41 |
| rhpot1991 | a few versions ago lirc was replaced with an in kernel option for generic mce remotes | 20:42 |
| rhpot1991 | if you didn't upgrade from an older version you shouldn't be hitting that though | 20:42 |
| rhpot1991 | I;d look at what is being held back, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to get them | 20:43 |
| James2 | ok i was upsing apt-get upgrade earlier | 20:43 |
| James2 | dist-upgrade gives a whole different list of updates | 20:44 |
| James2 | ok backend is rebooting after a dist upgrade and new kernel | 20:54 |
| James2 | will do the frontend with a problem in a mo | 20:54 |
| James2 | ok frontend is now fully up to date on 12.04 and 0.26 | 21:30 |
| James2 | lirc is not installed, and i still have no remote.. what to do? | 21:30 |
| rhpot1991 | James2: I'd configure your remote via mythbuntu-control-centre | 21:34 |
| rhpot1991 | which will install lirc | 21:34 |
| James2 | ok its installing atm | 21:35 |
| James2 | ok all done via mcc, and still no remote | 21:38 |
| James2 | irw still shows 0 activity from the reciever | 21:43 |
| James2 | any clues? | 21:56 |
| rhpot1991 | James2: lsmod |grep mceusb | 22:06 |
| rhpot1991 | run that | 22:06 |
| James2 | mceusb 18143 0 | 22:07 |
| James2 | rc_core 26412 13 ir_lirc_codec,ir_mce_kbd_decoder,ir_sony_decoder,ir_jvc_decoder,ir_rc6_decoder,rc_imon_pad,ir_rc5_decoder,imon,ir_nec_decoder,rc_rc6_mce,mceusb | 22:07 |
| rhpot1991 | actually I'm seeing that on one of my boxes too, hmmm | 22:08 |
| rhpot1991 | I was expecting to not get a hit | 22:08 |
| James2 | you have the same issue, its just dead remote, light on reciever flashes, but irw doesnt show up any input | 22:09 |
| James2 | (for any remote) | 22:09 |
| James2 | if so let me know how you fix yours :P | 22:09 |
| rhpot1991 | James2: sudo apt-get install evtest | 22:11 |
| rhpot1991 | mine is fine, but I supect you might have the kernel grabbing your keystrokes and not lirc | 22:12 |
| rhpot1991 | in which case you don't really need lirc | 22:12 |
| James2 | incidentally i have 2 boxes, this frontend, and its backend/frontend upstairs | 22:19 |
| James2 | same configs, same remotes, etc | 22:19 |
| James2 | the one upstairs is fine | 22:19 |
| James2 | and change to no additional remote in mcc so it removes lirc? | 22:20 |
| James2 | and reboot? and? | 22:21 |
| rhpot1991 | well use evtest to verify first | 22:22 |
| rhpot1991 | James2: same IR receiver on both | 22:22 |
| rhpot1991 | James2: I'm a little confused here, I thought that the in kernel lirc only worked for the generics and that the official ones were not used with that | 22:23 |
| James2 | slightly different versions | 22:23 |
| rhpot1991 | but I seem to have both the old lirc driver and the in kernel one on my system | 22:23 |
| James2 | yeah both of mine were using lirc afaik | 22:23 |
| rhpot1991 | superm1 played with the in kernel stuff for the official ones lately, so I'm hoping he can shed some light on it | 22:23 |
| James2 | the frontend also has an lcd panel | 22:23 |
| rhpot1991 | James2: gotta head home, I'll check back in later tonight | 22:25 |
| rhpot1991 | James2: you can read up about lirc's devinput | 22:25 |
| rhpot1991 | if it is using the in kernel driver then you can use devinput to access it in lirc | 22:25 |
| rhpot1991 | but I think you don't really need lirc in that event as long as the remote matches up to what you want mythtv to see | 22:25 |
| rhpot1991 | if you need a translation in between then you still need lirc | 22:25 |
| James2 | well the crucial thing is having the same button mappings on both remotes | 22:26 |
| rhpot1991 | so for instance if you wanted up on the remote to send the letter d to mythtv | 22:26 |
| James2 | in case customer decides to walk between rooms holding one :P | 22:26 |
| rhpot1991 | well in theory as long as the remote is seen by both then your lirc configuration can be differnt | 22:27 |
| rhpot1991 | ok heading out, good luck | 22:27 |
| superm1 | James2: did you isolate whether this was caused by the kernel update? | 22:45 |
| superm1 | try booting into an older kernel? | 22:45 |
| James2 | it stopped working before the kernel update | 22:53 |
| James2 | i can see the reciever, but i cant see where (if anywhere) it is sending notifications | 22:54 |
| James2 | this machine also has a | 22:55 |
| James2 | ID 15c2:0038 SoundGraph Inc. GD01 MX LCD Display/IR Receiver | 22:55 |
| James2 | if i could configure that reciever with the mce_usb remote that would be wicked | 22:56 |
| James2 | and just do away with the mce_usb reciever | 22:56 |
| superm1 | do you know if that device is able to receive rc6 remote protocol? | 22:59 |
| superm1 | good to know it wasn't busted by the kernel update though | 22:59 |
| superm1 | i think the imon actually can receive rc6 according to http://www.mythtv.org/pipermail/mythtv-users/2012-August/338196.html | 23:00 |
| superm1 | so you probably could do away with the mceusb receiver and do it all through imon | 23:00 |
| James2 | yeah im just looking into that | 23:03 |
| James2 | would be nicer to lose the reciever | 23:03 |
