I'm building a new box with Ubuntu 18.04 and trying to get the remote
working, but ran into a snag. I'm following the instructions here:
https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:IR_control_via_evdev
This worked:
don at andy:~$ sudo ir-keytable -t
Testing events. Please, press CTRL-C to abort.
182.735877: event type EV_MSC(0x04): scancode = 0x800f0401
182.735877: event type EV_KEY(0x01) key_down: KEY_NUMERIC_1(0x0201)
182.735877: event type EV_SYN(0x00).
182.869726: event type EV_MSC(0x04): scancode = 0x800f0401
182.869726: event type EV_SYN(0x00).
183.132071: event type EV_KEY(0x01) key_up: KEY_NUMERIC_1(0x0201)
183.132071: event type EV_SYN(0x00).
, but this did not:
don at andy:~$ sudo ir-keytable -t -d /dev/event/input3
/dev/event/input3: No such file or directory
don at andy:~$ sudo ir-keytable -t -d /dev/event/input4
/dev/event/input4: No such file or directory
My box has /dev/input/event*, but does not have /dev/event. Trying the
next command:
don at andy:~$ sudo ir-keytable
Found /sys/class/rc/rc0/ (/dev/input/event10) with:
Name: Media Center Ed. eHome Infrared Remote Transceiver
(0471:0815)
Driver: mceusb, table: rc-rc6-mce
lirc device: /dev/lirc0
Supported protocols: lirc rc-5 rc-5-sz jvc sony nec sanyo
mce_kbd rc-6 sharp xmp
Enabled protocols: lirc rc-6
bus: 3, vendor/product: 0471:0815, version: 0x0000
Repeat delay = 500 ms, repeat period = 125 ms
I have /dev/input/event10, so tried:
don at andy:~$ sudo ir-keytable -t -d /dev/input/event10
Can't open lirc device: No such file or directory
, so purged lirc, and tried it again; got the same results:
don at andy:~$ sudo apt-get remove *lirc* --purge
don at andy:~$ sudo ir-keytable -t -d /dev/input/event10
Can't open lirc device: No such file or directory
Any suggestions?
Don
