I went thru this recently where lircd would start fine but would disappear after I invoked 'irw', which will return with 'connection refused'. The reason in my case was that the in-kernel driver (pvrusb2) didn't have the support for lirc for the chip 24xx. I downloaded the tar and built the driver myself, and it all started working.<br><br>so, check to see if your driver for the IR device is working properly and /dev/lirc/0 is getting created. See if you are using in-kernel version now whereas you used the self-built latest module earlier.<br><br>other possibility (in case you didn't upgrade kernel, change any
modules, or upgrade lirc) could be udev upgrade messed up something and is no longer creating /dev/lirc/0.<br><br>-devsk<br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: Davey McWatters <daveyiv@adelphia.net><br>To: Discussion about mythtv <mythtv-users@mythtv.org><br>Sent: Thursday, January 4, 2007 8:14:21 PM<br>Subject: [mythtv-users] lirc issues after vacation<br><br><div>So I went on vacation for 3 weeks and come home to find out my remote no <br>longer works on my mythtv box, so I start messing around seeing if I can <br>fix it to no avail, so I come for your assistance.<br><br>mythtv@spork:/$ irw<br>connect: Connection refused<br><br><br>[ 47.389668] lirc_dev: IR Remote Control driver registered, at major 61<br>[ 47.396177] lirc_i2c: no version for "lirc_unregister_plugin" found: <br>kernel tainted.<br><br>mythtv@spork:/$ ps ax | grep lirc<br>22101
