<pre wrap="">I just did the updates for my F11 fe/be system and now the remote doesn't

mythfrontend, but Myth doesn't respond to any key presses. No errors or
related messages from mythfrontend's console output. lirc was updated in
the updates (to 0.8.6-2), but MythTV was not. My ~/.lircrc and
~/.mythtv/lircrc have not changed. Anyone else seen this? Any ideas?

If irw works as expected, I'd wager the problem is that lirc 0.8.6
moved the lirc daemon socket from /dev/lircd to /var/run/lirc/lircd,
and your frontend is still configured to connect to the old location.
There's a config option somewhere in the frontend setup to change the
location. In an ideal world, mythtv wouldn't be connecting directly to
the socket, but instead using the lirc client libs (like xine does),
but there are some legacy reasons behind it...

That was it, thanks! I would have had to look a long time to find the
new socket location... if I had even thought to look!<br>
