I'm trying to install and use Lirc 0.8.0 on a system running Debian<br>testing (lenny) to use an automaked serial receiver, but it doesn't<br>work.<br>I don't think the problem to be the receiver because I made 2 pieces
<br>and none of them works. And I used a receiver which works on another<br>system.<br>I installed lirc and lirc-modules-source using apt-get from the<br>ufficial Debian repositories and I compiled the modules lirc_dev and
<br>lirc_serial without any problem.<br>I setted the /dev/ttyS0 serial port as "uart none" with setserial and<br>I configured Lirc to load the drivers at the boot time.<br>When the system starts, Lirc and the modules lirc_dev and lirc_serial
<br>are loaded correctly, and Lircd is loaded with "--device=/dev/lirc0".</blockquote><div><br>This last bit is your problem. <br></div><br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
In fact, the receiver doesn't work.<br>When I launch "irrecord" as "root", I get this error:<br><br>irrecord: could not init hardware (lircd running? --> close it, check<br>permissions)</blockquote>
<div><br>And here's irrecord telling you explicitly that that's the problem. You need to stop lircd before you try to run irrecord. <br></div><br>Carl Fongheiser<br></div><br>
