[14:33] <qwebirc94351> anyone know why my sys/class/rc folder is empty.  i'm trying to get y mce remote to work, i've reinstalled mythbuntu 8 or 9 times and everytime that folder is empty.
[14:34] <qwebirc94351> maybe i'm going in a wrong direction to get my remote to work, i just never get anything from the remote ad it gives a error when i start lirc complaing about not being able to find a file or folder there
[14:34] <tgm4883> that seems like insanity
[14:35] <qwebirc94351> i know it is driving me nuts
[14:35] <tgm4883> I'm guessing that directory is empty because your system is not detecting anything to put in there?
[14:36] <tgm4883> I don't use an MCE remote anymore, but I'm assuming you are correct in that something should be in there, which means your system isn't detecting your hardware in order to populate that directory
[14:37] <qwebirc94351> it sees the usb reciever, i just think something is either blocking the install or something else is maybe interfering with it
[14:37] <tgm4883> reinstalling is worthless in this example
[14:37] <tgm4883> blocking the install?
[14:37] <qwebirc94351> i thought maybe something else was trying to use it and not allowing the install,  But i'm just guessing here
[14:38] <tgm4883> not allowing the install into /sys/class/rc  ?
[14:39] <qwebirc94351> Like i said i'm guessing, i can't figure out why it isnt working.  i even tried coping some files diretly to it as root but it would not allow me access to the folder
[14:39] <tgm4883> yea, nothing gets installed there
[14:39] <tgm4883>  /sys is a virtual directory. It gets populated by the kernel
[14:40] <qwebirc94351> is there a log somewhere i could look at and see if it is having issues with the hardware?
[14:40] <tgm4883> dmesg and /var/log/syslog
[14:43] <qwebirc94351> what command would i use with dmesg
[14:43] <tgm4883> dmesg by itself will print the log
[14:47] <qwebirc94351> i'm not really sure i know what i am looking for, is there something to do with the reciever i should look at
[14:54] <qwebirc94351> http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/7765976/
[15:02] <tgm4883> 972 to 978, it detects the device
[15:03] <tgm4883> it may not know what to do with it, but it at least sees it
[15:05] <qwebirc94351> can i manually tell it what to do with it?
[15:14] <qwebirc94351> any ideas of what else i could check or try?
[15:33] <qwebirc94351> anyone have any ideas?
[16:43] <qwebirc94351> anyone?
