[14:21] can someone please help me with my remote. i have bought 3 different ones now based on recomendations i recieved from this chat room and i cant seem to get them to work [14:21] I just want my remote to work [14:32] anyone? [14:51] kwisher you were helping me the other day on my remote. feel like a challenge? [14:52] why? [14:53] Myy remotes hate me. i bought another new remote i saw a lot of other people said worked good but even that one doesnt work [14:53] on my third remote and havent got any of them to work [14:54] got a link to the latest one? [14:55] yep http://www.frys.com/product/5390958?source=google&gclid=COv4_9bpnL8CFeIWMgodbz0AVg [14:57] same results as the last one? no light response from the remote to the receiver? [14:57] yep [14:57] i dont know if this helps i have spent a lot of time googleing this week, when i do a lirc restart i get the following error [14:58] find: `/sys/class/rc/*/': No such file or directory * Stopping remote control daemon(s): LIRC [ OK ] * Loading LIRC modules [ OK ] find: `/sys/class/rc/*/': No such file or directory * Starting remote control daemon(s) : [ OK ] [14:58] find: `/sys/class/rc/*/': No such file or directory * Stopping remote control daemon(s): LIRC [ OK ] * Loading LIRC modules [ OK ] find: `/sys/class/rc/*/': No such file or directory * Starting remote control daemon(s) : [ OK ] [14:58] with the new remote, did you try it from a live boot? [14:59] i did [14:59] same thing [15:00] does it mean anything that it cant find that file? [15:00] if i do a lsusb it sees it [15:01] i've never had remote issues and i've been using mythtv for over 5 years [15:02] linux mint 5 was my first myth install and the same remote is still working today [15:02] im going on 2 weeks with it, i really like it but the remote issue is killing me. I completely reloaded mythbuntu last night again as one of the suggestions i got googleing messed up my system and i couldnt get it to boot [15:03] do you have another linux system to test with? [15:04] or at least live boot on? [15:05] even a laptop would work [15:05] i can do it on my laptop give me a couple minutes to get ity going [15:18] you can also try xbmc live to test with - http://xbmc.org/download/ [15:18] choose the XBMCbuntu option [15:21] it does the same thing on the laptop. one flash with first press on remote then nothing [15:21] they all work in my windows media center [15:23] it seems like something is missing in this version of mythbuntu [15:23] and you did the setup also? [15:23] yyyep i did [15:27] does that file its missing mean anything [15:30] any ideas? [15:33] you have fully updated your install? [15:33] i did every update i could [15:33] does mythbuntu have synaptic installed? [15:40] i'm downloading mythbuntu 14.04 now to test with my spare remote [15:48] ok i am downloading xbmc also to test with [15:50] how are you connected to this irc channel? [15:50] What do you mean [15:51] what pc and irc client? [15:51] did you choose your irc nic? [15:52] it's just a pc from microcenter they built, i choose windows media center remote in the control console [15:53] its a older pc i have had for several years. i used to use it for a sbs server until we moved [15:56] my old spare remote is responding correctly on mythbuntu live boot [15:57] i dont know why they wouldnt work on my pc and a laptop. ive tried 3 different ones? [15:58] and they all work under windows media center [15:59] did you check the mythbuntu iso after you d/l? [16:00] i burned it to a cd ok but thats all i did i didnt do any checks on it [16:00] is there a way to reinstall lirc using defaults? [16:00] you should check the md5sum of the file from where you d/l [16:01] from a term do: sudo apt-get purge lirc* [16:03] my remote also works with xbmc live [16:03] ok that seems to have removed it. md5sum seems ok [16:04] now how do i reinstall lirc [16:04] now do: sudo apt-get purge mythbuntu-lirc-generator* [16:06] after that you need to do: sudo apt-get install lirc mythbuntu-lirc-generator [16:07] then do: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [16:09] ok it running [16:10] i mean downloading remote haevnt tried yet [16:10] ok it finished now what do i reboot? [16:15] did the last command do any updates/upgrades? [16:16] it did some [16:16] 259mb download it said [16:16] go ahead and reboot [16:18] i restarted and still have no remote [16:18] do you get a file error if you restart lirc? [16:18] i still do saying its missing a file [16:19] maybe it doesnt mean anything [16:21] how are you restarting lirc? [16:22] sudo /etc/init.d/lirc restart [16:24] i get no errors on mine [16:26] in the control center/ir setup, what do you have for the settings? [16:28] would you mind installing teamviewer on your myth system so i can remote in? [16:28] not at all juyst tell me what i need to do to install it [16:29] is your install 32 or 64 bit? [16:29] 64bit [16:31] google for teamviewer and download the ubuntu 32/64 bit multiarch file [16:31] did you try the xbmc live yet? [16:36] its installing almost done. i am making a dvd with xbmc [16:36] you need to use usb sticks for live testing [16:37] or rewritable optical discs [16:37] teamviewer id 515 761 234 [16:37] password 1988 [16:40] i'm at a loss [16:44] password please [16:45] ok i put it in [16:56] what did you select before here in term? [16:56] windows media center [17:12] on my system there is a rc0 folder with other files/folders [17:12] something is hosed on your system [17:13] i cannot write to it either, even as root, just as on yours [17:13] does service have to be stopped [17:14] so much for that idea [17:15] must be some sort of system area ??? [17:15] should i reload? [17:15] on mine there is: device input4 lirc0 power protocols subsystem uevent [17:16] yours does not exist for some reason [17:18] is it some kind of secirty issue on the folder? is there a way (for lack of a better term to force it to take ownership? [17:18] same as mine root [17:29] when you installed, did you do a custom partition or use the default? [17:29] i used the default and chose to delete previous install and reninstall new [17:31] my only suggestion would be to install xubuntu 14.04 and then add mythtv after the install [17:31] i have another hard drive i can install in the computer and reload it, i'm getting really good at the reloads [17:31] but make sure to delete all partitions and start on a bare drive [17:31] i can probably do that i think i know how to install mythtv on it after umbuntu [17:32] you would just need to install mythbuntu-control-centre and go through the setup [17:32] thank you so much for the help at least it seems to be getting somewhere and i'm not going crazy [17:33] can you try the xbmc live on your laptop first to check the remote hardware? [17:33] unplug the receiver from the myth box [17:34] i unplugged it [17:34] plug it back in [17:35] done [17:35] ok try xbmc live to check the remote hardware [17:36] should work right away without any configuration [17:36] ok i will do so i will have to kick you off the box you are on i am using laptop for the chat room [17:40] well, i'm stumped [17:41] unless your hardware is not actually supported?? [17:41] i am going to reload it after i test with xbmc [17:41] test with xbmc [17:42] test with xbmc on both pc's [17:42] couple question i will have when i tried umbuntu and then mythtv the first time everytime i restarted it asked for a passowrd before going into it [17:42] need to verify the hardware actually works with linux [17:42] like i had to login [17:42] will do i will test and let you know [17:43] yes, that is normal [17:43] when i start the myth-backend setup i have to enter password [17:44] anything you do on linux that requires system changes should require the admin password [17:45] first thing is to make sure the remote hardware works
