[mythtv-users] Lircd runs -> irw: no signal

[myth at undergroundcandy.com]

Okay, I did "ps aux | grep lircd" and got the pid.
Then I did "strace -p 12165", and this came up:
Process 12165 attached - interrupt to quit
select(5, [4], NULL, NULL, NULL

Don't know what to do from here. But I tried pressing the remote control
buttons (aimed at the receiver of course) but nothing happens.

I have a feeling that the answer is in my logs, but I don't know much
about this subject (logs are posted below).

Thank you.
