| qwebirc156 | So I've upgraded to fixes .25, and mythbuntu was upgrades to 12.04, but now my iguanair isn't working. Found these directions:http://iguanaworks.net/2012/compile-lirc-into-deb-package/ But I have no clue what this step is: If not already added, add your distro’s source repository to you /etc/apt/sources.list (often can be done via package manager gui, depending on the distro) | 01:29 |
| qwebirc156 | I am no linux expert | 01:30 |
| qwebirc156 | While I'm at it I don't get the next step either I don't think: Get what is needed to compile LIRC with “sudo apt-get build-dep lirc” | 01:34 |
| qwebirc156 | Oh wait, it seems that command is getting what is needed, maybe it's not working because the previous one isn't? | 01:34 |
| qwebirc156 | Well I emailed iguanaworks, hopefully they can help, why must it be sooo difficult in linux to get something. Just seems wierd that I have to recompile something from source, why can't I just copy a new file over! | 02:29 |
| dekarl | qwebirc156: I'd say because the vendor doesn't provide an alternate compiled package of lirc or does not work with upstream to enable their driver in the base package. | 05:43 |
| dekarl | btw, you may want to consider updating to fixes/0.26, its been out for some time now | 05:44 |
| dekarl | qwebirc156: btw, http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=524403 says you don't have to compile once the nov 2012 update hits the package archive | 05:48 |
| qwebirc156 | Thanks for the answer <dekarl>, how long does that usually take, anyway I can easily get it. I really didn't want to upgade mythbuntu, because everytime I do I run into some problem, but I kept getting that huge nag screen that was taking focus. | 10:29 |
| qwebirc156 | Sweet figured it out!!! sudo dpkg -i lirc-0.9.0-0ubuntu3_i386.deb | 11:21 |
| qwebirc156 | was it! well figured it out with help of igauana support at least. | 11:21 |
| qwebirc156 | now to figure out how to get the taskbar to hide automatically... | 11:21 |
| dekarl | qwebirc156: is this system dedicated to mythtv? You could try installing the mythbuntu-desktop instead of a full feature office stuff desktop | 11:23 |
| dekarl | I have no task bar in the way of mythfrontend | 11:24 |
| qwebirc156 | Yeah it's dedicated to myth, I don't think I have full feature desktop, it's pretty barebones...It didn't restart like this last night I wonder if it was because there was a crash report. I cleared crash report and am restarting | 11:29 |
| qwebirc156 | Restarting it worked, I think I'll create a backup of this system then try to upgrade to .26, thanks for the help :) | 11:30 |
