[01:29] <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)
[01:30] <qwebirc156> I am no linux expert
[01:34] <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?
[02:29] <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!
[05:43] <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.
[05:44] <dekarl> btw, you may want to consider updating to fixes/0.26, its been out for some time now
[05:48] <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
[10:29] <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.
[11:21] <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...
[11:23] <dekarl> qwebirc156:  is this system dedicated to mythtv? You could try installing the mythbuntu-desktop instead of a full feature office stuff desktop
[11:24] <dekarl> I have no task bar in the way of mythfrontend
[11:29] <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
[11:30] <qwebirc156> Restarting it worked, I think I'll create a backup of this system then try to upgrade to .26, thanks for the help :)
