[mythtv-users] Lircd at startup

[mythgnomer at rowelab.com]

Might be a red herring there.. So you have a mythtv user that auto-logins
and starts up mythtv? When you say you have to log in as root and restart
the service, do you test by trying mythfrontend as root, too?

If so, then it sounds like you need to copy the /root/.mythtv/lircrc to
/home/mythtv/.mythtv/ directory.. 

The symptoms of not having the lircrc file in the right place for the user
who runs mythfrontend are exactly what you mention (looks like lircd starts
up, but myth ignores the remote.)

I think I've narrowed it down to this line of my lircd file...
 
touch /var/lock/subsys/lircd 

viewing permissions on this file it appears that mythtv has only read
privileges and only root has write privileges.  If i try to add write
permissions to this file and reboot it resets to the original permissions.
 
Anybody have any ideas?

	No errors, but is it actually running? (ie, ps -aux | grep lircd).
If not, check the log..
	 
	I assume you have an init script for it, so try running that
manually and if it doesn't immediately die,  tail -f /var/log/lircd .. see
what happens when you start up mythfrontend..

	I have a quick question.it seems to me that my Lircd daemon doesn't
start up correctly at boot time.  It's strange because I don't get any
errors on boot and it tells me the daemon starts fine.  If I try to use my
remote (from a pvr350) with myth nothing happens unless if I login as root
and start up the service manually.  Anybody have any ideas?
